Medical students find immunology difficult to understand and relate to clinically and are often frustrated by the amount of detailed material. We created PRIME Immunology: Preview or Review of Important Material for Everyone: (i) video modules, (ii) Instagram site, and (iii) vocabulary files called Immunology Language.
The self-paced modules introduced key topics in immunology for students to complete prior to their instructional block.
Use of PRIME Immunology during a 3-year period suggested that providing students with an overview of key topics before the start of their course may (i) reduce student angst about immunology and (ii) improve retention of immunology.
医学生发现免疫学难以理解且难以与临床实际联系起来,并且常常被大量的详细资料搞得灰心丧气。我们创建了“PRIME免疫学:适合每个人的重要资料预习或复习”,包括:(i)视频模块,(ii)照片墙网站,以及(iii)名为“免疫学语言”的词汇文件。
这些自主学习模块介绍了免疫学的关键主题,供学生在教学单元之前完成。
在三年期间使用“PRIME免疫学”表明,在课程开始前为学生提供关键主题的概述可能(i)减少学生对免疫学的焦虑,以及(ii)提高免疫学知识的留存率。
