An evidence-based learning strategy using individual testing and group collaboration to improve knowledge.

A unit of instruction in a TBL course, following a three-step cycle (preparation, testing, application).

Assignments given before each TBL module to prepare students for concepts and problem-solving.

A 5-stage process in TBL, guiding students from initial preparation to applying knowledge in problem-solving.

Patients shouldn't be treated differently based on race, gender, religion, or other factors.

Patients can voice concerns and seek solutions when something goes wrong.

Permission given by a patient for a medical procedure or treatment. This must be voluntary and free from pressure.

Keeping patient information private and secure, unless they give permission to share it. This is a core duty of healthcare providers.

Patients have the right to privacy, confidentiality, and informed decision-making about their own care.

Confidentiality builds trust between patients and healthcare providers. It encourages patients to share sensitive information, leading to better care.

If a doctor doesn't fully explain the risks and benefits of a treatment before starting it, the consent is invalid. This can lead to legal issues for the doctor.

It can damage patient trust in the doctor, make them less likely to share information, and could lead to legal action against the doctor.

It empowers patients to make choices about their own health by understanding the potential risks and benefits. It also protects doctors from legal issues.

Using digital tools and the internet to teach and learn. This can include online courses, apps, simulations, and more. It can happen in a classroom or outside it.

Advantages include increased interaction between teachers and students, flexibility in learning time and location, lower cost, and personalized learning experiences.

Beyond just online lectures, e-Learning includes interactive elements like discussion forums, online whiteboards, and educational apps.

Learning activities taking place in real-time, like live online classes or video conferences, where everyone participates at the same time.

Learning activities that don't happen in real-time, allowing students to learn at their own pace, like pre-recorded lectures or discussion forums.

Combining online and traditional classroom learning, offering students a mix of approaches.

Tips to keep students interested include interactive activities, clear communication, regular feedback, and encouraging participation.

The internet has had a major impact on education, making distance learning more accessible and changing the way we teach and learn.

Using computers and software to create virtual environments for learning, allowing students to learn remotely and at their own pace.

Distance learning allows students to learn from anywhere, access various resources, and learn at their own speed. It also improves accessibility and allows for repeated learning.

Successful e-learning platforms are easy to use, diverse, customizable, flexible, visually engaging, and interactive.

E-learning can have limitations like technology access issues, lack of personal interaction, and difficulties engaging certain learners.

Using technology like software and computer devices can enhance learning by simulating real-world scenarios and making learning more interactive.

A potential issue in asynchronous learning where students may lack motivation and accountability, leading to incomplete tasks.

The need to train older educators in using technology and e-learning platforms effectively for teaching.

A combination of face-to-face and online learning methods that leverage the advantages of both approaches, providing a more enriching and effective learning experience.

Combining traditional classroom teaching with online learning methods for a more personalized and engaging experience.

A blended learning approach where students watch lectures at home and engage in interactive activities in the classroom.

Learning methods that actively involve students in the learning process, encouraging participation and higher-order thinking.

Blended learning combines online and in-person instruction, while online learning solely relies on digital tools.

The teacher becomes a facilitator, guiding and supporting students rather than delivering lectures.

Students need to take ownership of their learning, preparing before class and actively participating.

The use of technology to assist in learning, either through in-person or online instruction.

Learning that happens between different healthcare professions, like doctors, nurses, and pharmacists, to improve collaboration and patient care.

A group of healthcare professionals from different backgrounds who work together to provide the best possible care for patients.

Effective teams have open communication, mutual respect, shared decision-making, and each member feels valued and empowered.

Working together improves patient safety, outcomes, and patient satisfaction. It also reduces errors and improves communication.

Four fundamental areas healthcare professionals should understand and practice to work effectively together: Values/Ethics, Roles/Responsibilities, Communication, Teams & Teamwork

Healthcare is complex and patients have diverse needs. Working together allows different professionals to share expertise and provide better care.

Each profession has unique knowledge and skills, but they share a common goal of improving patient health. Recognizing both similarities and differences is key for collaboration.

It means recognizing that no single profession can provide comprehensive care alone. It involves valuing the unique contributions of others and working together effectively.

Learning experiences that bring together students from different health professions to work collaboratively on real-world healthcare scenarios.

IPE is not just students from different health professions in the same classroom or participating in a profession without collaboration or responsibility for patient care.

When multiple health professionals from different backgrounds work together to provide comprehensive patient care, involving patients, families, and communities.

Healthcare professionals need to understand and respect the roles and responsibilities of all stakeholders within the healthcare team.

Healthcare professionals must communicate effectively, responsibly, and culturally sensitively with colleagues, patients, and families.

All stakeholders, including patients and families, participate in decisions about patient care, ensuring everyone's voice is heard.

Healthcare professionals prioritize the needs and well-being of the patient and their family in all aspects of care.
