Does the Concept of the "Flipped Classroom" Extend to the Emergency Medicine Clinical Clerkship?

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Linking educational objectives and clinical learning during clerkships can be difficult. Clinical shifts during emergency medicine (EM) clerkships provide a wide variety of experiences, some of which may not be relevant to recommended educational objectives. Students can be directed to standardize their clinical experiences, and this improves performance on examinations.
