Ma, Kevin Sheng-Kai; Chang, Hui-Chin; Krupat, Edward – Advances in Physiology Education, 2021
To evaluate the efficacy of an educational module on evidence-based medicine (EBM) assisted with electronic medical databases (EMDs) for preclinical education, medical students (n = 111) were matriculated in a program consisted of 16 2-h sessions on EBM plus hands-on experience on EMDs in a problem-based learning-type format. Students were…

Horn, Margaux A. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2023
The current student body will, by and large, seek online resources to supplement their learning. However, resources that are freely available online vary in accuracy and quality, and the vast majority rely on passive learning. Therefore, there is a need for interactive physiology teaching resources that facilitate application of knowledge, that…

Motz, Benjamin A.; James, Karin H.; Busey, Thomas A. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2012
Despite a profusion of popular misinformation about the left brain and right brain, there are functional differences between the left and right cerebral hemispheres in humans. Evidence from split-brain patients, individuals with unilateral brain damage, and neuroimaging studies suggest that each hemisphere may be specialized for certain cognitive…

Harris, David M.; Ryan, Kathleen; Rabuck, Cynthia – Advances in Physiology Education, 2012
Students are relying on technology for learning more than ever, and educators need to adapt to facilitate student learning. High-fidelity patient simulators (HFPS) are usually reserved for the clinical years of medical education and are geared to improve clinical decision skills, teamwork, and patient safety. Finding ways to incorporate HFPS into…
