Integrated e-Learning for Shoulder Anatomy and Clinical Examination Skills in First-Year Medical Students: Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Applying functional anatomy to clinical examination techniques in shoulder examination is challenging for physicians at all learning stages. Anatomy teaching has shifted toward a more function-oriented approach and has increasingly incorporated e-learning. There is limited evidence on whether the integrated teaching of professionalism, clinical examination technique, and functional anatomy via e-learning is effective.

Objective

This study aimed to investigate the impact of an integrated blended learning course on the ability of first-year medical students to perform a shoulder examination on healthy volunteers.

Methods

Based on Kolb's experiential learning theory, we designed a course on shoulder anatomy and clinical examination techniques that integrates p
