Exploring the integration of OFST and IPE in cross-regional physiology teaching-a novel approach.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Addressing regional disparities in educational resources remains a persistent challenge in medical education. The Online Four-Step Teaching (OFST) method is a structured, team-based, task-driven approach designed to enhance student engagement and learning outcomes sequentially. When combined with Interprofessional Education (IPE), which promotes cross-disciplinary collaboration among healthcare students, OFST has the potential to bridge geographical and disciplinary boundaries. This study evaluates the integration of OFST and IPE in cross-regional physiology instruction and its effectiveness in improving learning outcomes and fostering interprofessional collaboration.
