Teaching in the preclinical phase is a crucial foundation for students in health science programs. A solid understanding of preclinical content leads to effective application of knowledge in the clinical setting, fostering deep, meaningful learning and creating a joyful learning experience.
In this issue of the SHEE Journal, the team has gathered many experts to share valuable insights on approaches for teaching preclinical students. The team presents fundamental principles that are central to the development of current preclinical curricula, including outcome-based education and active learning. There are also interesting insights on how to make traditional teaching methods, such as lectures and laboratory sessions, more engaging and conducive to effective learning. Additionally, the team highlights newer teaching methods that are gaining popularity, such as flipped classrooms, team-based learning, problem-based learning, project-based learning, game-based learning, technology-enhanced learning, and blended learning.
To complement the content, the team also introduces strategies for self-directed learning, a key approach for developing students' knowledge and skills in the modern era. As always, there are recurring educational columns, including insights into research tools, a research article on blended learning in basic medical laboratory courses, and educational technology topics, such as using Canva for lesson presentations.
