“…TBL began formally in the 1970s, but became popular after publication of a TBL reference book by Michaelsen, Knight, and Fink in 2002 [ 8 ]. TBL has learners work in teams with a well-defined format that includes preparation, readiness assurance, and application exercises and, while traditionally in person, has been adapted to virtual team environments [ 8 , 9 ]. It is an effective modality for teaching in healthcare education, improving test scores and being well-received by students [ 10 – 13 ].…”

Integrating foundational and clinical science in medical and other professional healthcare degree programs has been well established as a means to enhance learning. However, implementation remains challenging, and a significant gap exists in guidance for non-professional degree programs to effectively accomplish both types of integration. Additionally, many modalities described in the literature are resource-intensive, scale poorly to larger groups, and are widely inaccessible. We present an online modality combining team-based learning and a simulation-based learning experience that fosters vertical and horizontal integration of physiology, pharmacology, and clinical science. The tools utilized include a vital sign simulator, video conferencing software, and a document-sharing platform. The activity demonstrated improved knowledge comparing pre- and posttests and evidence that the activity helped students integrate physiology, pharmacology, and clinical medicine. The novel structure is effective and accessible, uses open-source software and standard equipment available to most undergraduate and graduate faculty, and is adaptable to in-person, hybrid-remote, and fully remote delivery.
