Abstract
Medical education has traditionally been centered around faculty expertise, often overlooking the clinical significance of unrelated details. In contrast, integrated teaching, which addresses all facets of a subject, offers a more holistic approach to learning. This study evaluated the impact of integrated ophthalmology training for fifth-year medical students. Methods: Fifth-year medical students participated in integrated ophthalmology training, which included comprehensive learning through interactive sessions and small group discussions. Following the training, students completed evaluation questionnaires and final exams. The performance of students trained through the integrated approach was compared to those who received conventional teaching. Results: Students who underwent integrated learning performed significantly better in their final exams compared to those taught via traditional methods. Furthermore, there was a notable increase in student satisfaction following the introduction of integrated teaching techniques. Conclusion: The implementation of integrated teaching in ophthalmology education has led to improved academic performance and higher student satisfaction. Over the past eight years, our department has successfully incorporated this approach into the curriculum, prioritizing interactive assessments and small group learning to enhance both clinical and theoretical knowledge in ophthalmology
