This study evaluates the effectiveness of a hybrid, faculty-guided, self-directed learning model for teaching immunology to first-year medical students. It compares summative exam performance across five cohorts (2017-2021). The 2021 pilot course incorporated asynchronous videos, quizzes, and in-person sessions. Results show consistent performance across cohorts, except for the 2020 fully virtual cohort, which scored below the National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME) average. Student feedback highlighted the benefits of the hybrid model, particularly its flexibility and self-paced learning. These findings suggest that hybrid models can be used effectively to teach complex subjects like immunology with reduced in-person contact.

本研究评估了一种混合式、教师指导的自主学习模式在向一年级医学生教授免疫学方面的有效性。它比较了五个队列（2017 - 2021年）的结业考试成绩。2021年的试点课程包含异步视频、测验和面对面课程。结果显示，除了2020年完全虚拟授课的队列成绩低于美国国家医学考试委员会（NBME）平均分之外，各队列的表现一致。学生反馈突出了混合式模式的优点，特别是其灵活性和自主学习节奏。这些发现表明，混合式模式可有效地用于教授像免疫学这样的复杂学科，同时减少面对面接触。
