EE-6S: an integrated approach for introducing early clinical exposure in the new Egyptian medical curriculum

Abstract: The electrocardiogram (ECG) is the primary diagnostic tool in cardiovascular diseases. Hence its interpretation is a core competency in medicine, where obvious deficiencies have been reported among learners. The aim of this study was to introduce the fundamentals of ECG knowledge and interpretation through early clinical exposure (ECE) based on a six-step approach for preclinical students ( n = 110) and to study its influence on their knowledge and interpretation skills thereafter. The first step employed a bl… Show more

“…The innovation of this study was that physiology knowledge related to ECG was included in the teaching activities to expand the knowledge system of ECG. Physiology is one of the basic sciences that is the foundation of medicine and should be learned in the clinical context if the competencies outlined for future medical graduates are addressed (Seif et al, 2021 ). However, with no introductory experiences in the clinical setting, students in their early undergraduate years usually have difficulty linking basic medical knowledge (e.g.…”

“…Because it ensures active participation of the learner through the use of various instructional methods, such as the construction of a problem for a given topic for a small group to discuss and derive accurate and desired solutions, problem-oriented learning is also regarded as an active form of learning and a valuable form of group education. In this kind of teaching and learning, the facilitator works as both a moderator and a supervisor [9]. Students are encouraged to use self-directed learning to understand the subject or topic better, improve knowledge retention, and improve critical thinking skills, all of which are important in today's world, according to the current curriculum, which asks for at least a third of horizontal and vertical alignment and integration [10].…”
