Description

• Embryology is one of the most difficult topics for students to master1

Students’ perceptions of embryology are generally more negative:

• Not clinically important1

• More negative attitude than towards gross anatomy1

• Unhappy with current teaching methods and not confident learning it2

An integrated CAL module will allow a more linear model for learning congenital heart diseases, which may help improve students’ understanding of cardiovascular embryology.

  • Compared to traditional, more segmental model where students learn embryology separately from clinical presentation, ECG interpretation, etc.
  • CAL modules have proven effective for other organ systems3.
  • We hypothesized that students would demonstrate positive attitudes towards a CAL module for learning cardiovascular embryology and would demonstrate increased understanding of the material (high efficacy)
