Evaluation of participatory teaching methods in undergraduate medical students' learning along the first academic courses.

ABSTRACT: The European Higher Education Area (EHEA) is an opportunity to redesign medical education. Academic training is now focused on acquiring not only knowledge, but also those competencies critical to face complex professional scenarios. Together with re-evaluating traditional teaching methods, EHEA has forced a technological shift in the way we teach. By critically assessing the impact of novel teaching methodologies, we can better define biomedical education demands.

Quantitative (conventional survey statistics) and qualitative (open coding) approaches were com
