The tools are based on the first nationally developed basicscience curriculum, developed by Aquifer in collaboration with IAMSE(International Association of Medical Science Educators). Initial offeringsare currently in development for: 48 Integrated Illness Scripts build on the traditional illness scriptformat, embedding basic science core concepts as causal andexplanatory mechanisms associated with clinical features to providea deeper understanding and cognitive integration. 36 virtual patient cases that utilize the clinical decision-makingapproach and integrate basic science explanations and reflectionquestions to cement the learner’s understanding of basic sciences ina clinical setting.Consortium Leadership:Aquifer Sciences Leadership Team;a group of basic science & clinicaleducatorsBRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN BASIC SCIENCE & CLINICAL LEARNINGAuthors: 12 Pilot School teams of clinicianeducators, basic science faculty,and medical studentsUnderstanding the “Why” to Make Better Clinical DecisionsIntegration of basic and clinical sciences is critical for comprehensive, efficientlearning in health professions education.
