Saarang Deshpande and David Ritzenthaler, medical students at ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵ School of Medicine, and Nicole Rudert and Jensen Lewis, assistant professors in the university's physician assistant program, recently had their article on the flipped classroom .
Their article, "A unique flipped classroom approach shows promising results in physician assistant education," highlighted benefits of the flipped-classroom approach, including higher levels of enjoyment and satisfaction with in-class time, and decreased levels of boredom, when compared to a lecture-based segment of the same course.
In addition, they found the flipped-classroom curriculum produced a significant increase in pre-class preparation time, with no change in post-class studying time. Finally, they found students in the flipped-classroom curriculum scored significantly higher on clinical vignette questions, with similar performance on other question formats.
