Abstract
Is the introduction of medical genetics course using Team-Based Learning session more effective in the first year or second year of medical school?
Highlights
Medical genetics course introduces the medical students to the basic concepts in mode of inheritance, cytogenetics, etiology and pathology of various diseases, in addition to some advanced concepts and molecular diagnostics
The test scores and evaluation scores of medical genetics Team-based learning (TBL) sessions were obtained for the students for consecutive academic years as representative of second year of medical education (Med-II) and first year of medical education (Med-I), respectively
The course material is the same as previous course given to the second year medical students
Summary
Medical genetics course introduces the medical students to the basic concepts in mode of inheritance, cytogenetics, etiology and pathology of various diseases, in addition to some advanced concepts and molecular diagnostics. These concepts are mostly applied rather than used as theoretical data in other medical courses. Earlier introduction to various medical concepts will provide students with the basis necessary to better understand and incorporate these genetic concepts in subsequent courses. The early introduction of medical genetics will decrease the load of knowledge to be learned in the second year and enable focusing more on disease-specific topics
