Immunology Integration and Team-Based Learning (TBL) Enhance Comprehension in a Foundations to Medicine Module

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The speaker described redesigning a first-year medical immunology block at Augusta University’s Savannah campus. Because most students had little or no prior immunology, and the course was compressed into four lecture-heavy days, students tended to memorize content rather than understand it. In 2025, the material was spread across six weeks and paired with more active learning, including three team-based learning sessions and more clinically integrated cases. Compared with 2024, unchanged immunology exam questions improved by 9% on the end-of-module exam, with a moderate educational effect size. Quiz scores did not improve immediately, suggesting benefits in longer-term learning.
