The relation between learning process and content coverage is becoming increasingly important for the understanding of the effects of problem-based learning (PBL) on students’ learning. In our medical school, PBL is used as a major educational strategy in the discipline of pathophysiology. A computer program was developed allowing students to register learning issues identified as needed during tutorial sessions and learning issues stated as covered during the individual study periods. In our study, we compared “planned” (learning issues identified during PBL sessions) and “accomplished” learning issues (covered after the independent study periods) identified by pathophysiology students from three consecutive years. We found that the planned learning issues raised during tutorial sessions related to the issues effectively accomplished during the independent study and that their number grew stepwise from basic to preclinical to clinical sciences. Pathophysiology was, globally, the most mentioned discipline. Moreover, the most mentioned disciplines from the basic, preclinical, and clinical areas were physiology, histopathology, and internal medicine, respectively. The single-discipline approach did not limit the student’s capacity to identify and cover learning issues beyond the objectives of pathophysiology.

Abstract Background: While there are increasing curricula on high value care, little is published on the effectiveness of curricula on medical students’ ability to practice high value care.Methods: In addition to the standard curriculum, the intervention group received two classroom sessions and three virtual patients focused on the concepts of high value care. The primary outcome was number of tests and charges for tests on standardized patients.Results: One hundred forty-one students enrolled in the Core Clerkship in Internal Medicine and 69 completed the high value care curriculum. There were no significant differences in ordering of appropriate tests (3.1 vs. 3.2 tests/students, p = 0.55) and inappropriate tests (1.8 vs. 2.2, p = 0.13) between the intervention and control. Students in the intervention group had significantly lower median Medicare charges ($287.59 vs. $500.86, p = 0.04) and felt their education in high value care was appropriate (81% vs. 56%, p = 0.02).Conclusions: This is the first study to describe the impact of a high value care curriculum on medical students’ ordering practices. While number of inappropriate tests were not significantly different, students in the intervention group refrained from ordering expensive tests.
