The flipped classroom (FC) model utilizes pre-class foundational learning with in-class higher-order application exercises. FC approaches have reported positive perceptions and mixed academic performance outcomes in medical education; however, little evidence exists on their impact in the 56-week didactic curriculum of Physician Assistant (PA) education. A 4-week FC curriculum was piloted in a PA behavioral medicine course ( = 34). Before class, students completed online video modules. During class, students completed a pre-class quiz and answered clinical case-based questions in a think-pair-share format. Students rated in-class time higher than a lecture-based segment of the same course ( = 0.028). Assessment of achievement emotions demonstrated increased enjoyment ( = 0.028) and decreased boredom ( < 0.001) in the FC curriculum with no difference in anxiety. The FC curriculum produced a 57.2 min increase in pre-class preparation time with no change in post-class studying time. Compared to historical lecture-based controls ( = 35), students in the FC curriculum scored significantly higher on clinical vignette questions ( = 0.019) with equivalent performance on other question formats. This study offers the first positive outcomes of an FC approach in PA education and provides a framework for improving academic performance while scaling back in-class time.

In order to solve the limitations of flipped classroom in personalized teaching and interactive effect improvement, this paper designs a new model of flipped classroom in colleges and universities based on Virtual Reality (VR) by combining the algorithm of Contrastive Language-Image Pre-Training (CLIP). Through cross-modal data fusion, the model deeply combines students' operation behavior with teaching content, and improves teaching effect through intelligent feedback mechanism. The test data shows that the similarity between video and image modes reaches 0.

Background: Learning health systems (LHS) have the potential to use health data in real time through rapid and continuous cycles of data interrogation, implementing insights to practice, feedback, and practice change. However, there is a lack of an appropriately skilled interprofessional informatics workforce that can leverage knowledge to design innovative solutions. Therefore, there is a need to develop tailored professional development training in digital health, to foster skilled interprofessional learning communities in the health care workforce in Australia.

Background: Oral general course (OGC) is a basic subject of medical education. The implementation of multidisciplinary team (MDT) meets the individual needs of patients. Based on the concept of MDT, this study combined the theory and practice of flipped classroom teaching method to evaluate the teaching effect, so as to provide a basis and reference for the thinking transformation of medical students to clinicians.

Background: Teaching renal physiology is problematic in many medical schools since conventional passive learning might not be effective. Active learnings including flipped classroom (FC) have been introduced to medical education including renal physiology topic recently, but no study regarding long-term outcomes has been reported.
Approach: Two classes of second-year medical students were compared.
