Bioethicising - medical students engaged in bioethics
Arawi, T and Mikati, D
Cambridge Healthcare Quarterly. 2016

Today, physicians find themselves facing more controversial issues than ever before; consequently, it has become indispensable for medical students to receive adequate training in medical ethics throughout their medical school years. At the American University of Beirut (AUB) Faculty of Medicine, third year medical students complete a nine month course in bioethics that aims through unique components, to help them become healers and not only healthcare practitioners. In this article, we highlight the features of the Blended Learning format used for this course and emphasize three innovative learning activities: 1) Bioethics Documentary, 2) Edutainment Games and 3) Bioethics Log, which proved to be effective tools for achieving the course outcomes

​PEER REVIEWED CASES ON MEDEDPORTAL

The below are 6 TBL modules used in the clinical pharmacology course that is offered to third year medical students at the American University of Beirut Faculty of Medicine. The clinical pharmacology course was initiated in 2008 when it was first offered to fourth year medical students, and then it was gradually moved to third year medical students. The main objective of the course is to apply rational prescribing within several clinical case scenarios. The reading material typically includes an article from the Medical Letter journal and a summary of the treatment guidelines from the relevant associations or expert groups. Two articles describing the course and its outcome have been previously published. We have shown that medical students were highly satisfied with the course and the teaching approach, and that their performance on prescription writing and formulary development had improved.​
