From: Creating a contemporary clerkship curriculum: the flipped classroom model in emergency medicine

What did you like about this format?

What didn’t you like about this format?

Interactive. Case presentations we worked through

Students competing to get thoughts in can be distracting.

It was presented like how we would see patients in the ED and it emphasized the not-so-clear decision patients that can be encountered

Online videos were useful review but did not go in-depth for new learning

Interactive; good thinking process for tough clinical situations

The discussion is a bit of a free-for-all. For those who do not like talking over others, this is a challenging format

I felt that it was much easier to learn actively instead of passively

Seems like we hit the major learning points, but not sure - variable experience depending on group

High quality chalk-talk style lectures, and then the in-class interactive portion allows us to apply & solidify what I just learned

It’s harder for everyone to be able to participate equally especially if you are a quiet person

Puts in mindset of clinical approach. Helps clarify factors going into decision-making

Sometimes I know the answers and you have to deal with others putting out weird recommendations

The case application and discussion following the online learning/review

I wish the videos were a little more advanced, much of the information I already felt familiar with

Learning from others is more effective and engaging than lecture; there is more freedom/comfort to ask questions

A little slower than traditional content

Spending my own time learning the basics and having time to apply the concepts and info

Hard to follow everything we’d done in each case at times. Pre-classroom work needed to be more advanced

Closer to real decision-making, time to discuss/debate/clarify knowledge and misconceptions

Sometimes a little rushed with more advanced topics, but felt comfortable checking in/asking questions
