Efficient undergraduate learning of liver transplant: building a framework for teaching subspecialties to medical students.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Liver recipients may develop various diseases after transplant. However, because of inadequate study of liver transplant during undergraduate education, the quality of post-transplant care provided to these patients remains suboptimal. Herein, we introduce an innovative and integrated multimodal pedagogical approach to effectively disseminate key information regarding liver transplant to undergraduate students. The goal is to examine this approach through students' assessment in multiple dimensions.

Methods

This prospective observational study evaluated student reactions to our pedagogical approach. Fifth-year medical students during the academic year 2015-2016 attended a 2-h session on what nontransplant doctors should know about liver transplants. The pedagogica
