Flipped Classroom Approach

Complete shared core pre-clinical curriculum is defined through collaboration. Students engage with basic science material when linked to clinical relevance. Collaborative partnerships with international institutions are established.

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) project is a cross institutional collaboration on core content. The flipped classroom approach engages learners. Basic science and clinical application are integrated.

Core curriculum varies by medical school. Pedagogical approach is outdated. Basic science instruction is poorly integrated with clinical application.
