It has been shown that outdated methods, such as lectures with minimal student teacher interaction, are still being used world-wide in pathology teaching [ 5].
An anonymous midterm survey suggested factors likely contributing to the overall lower success of students in the hybrid section: some students in the hybrid section did not take lecture notes and/or use the audio component of the online lectures, suggesting minimal interaction with the lecture material for these students.
After minimal preparation, a short lecture, and experience with the PoCUS simulator, participants received a focused introduction to PoCUS scans and gained significant experience in PoCUS simulation.
However, the extent to which individual syllabi incorporate CAM varies widely, ranging from minimal coverage (one CAM lecture in the entire course) to substantially more extensive provision (CAM considered throughout the course, employing a range of teaching and learning approaches).
The few residency training programs that exist provide minimal guidance in terms of lectures, clinical practice, or supervision [23].
Faculty teaching large lecture courses with minimal support staff may feel constrained to machine-scored assessments that are both simple and quick to grade but that typically assess lower cognitive levels.
Nevertheless, we see this time allocation as a worthwhile and necessary investment, given that the gains from the lecture-only class were minimal at best.
Our first goal was to assess whether students, with minimal instructor contribution (approximately 10 minutes of lecture), could correctly reason through questions on the in-class activity that addressed common misconceptions about reading phylogenies.
In the lecture session, the rationale of minimal sedation was described, the guidelines were presented and the results of our pilot experience were discussed.
In the control group with minimal mechanical stress (students wearing gloves during a lecture) only one latex glove (2%) out of 50 and two nitrile gloves (4%) out of 50 showed micro perforations.
