Combined Professional Training for Biosafety Education in Third-Year Medical Students

Authors

Abstract

Introduction: Designing biosafety training for medical students in the post-pandemic era requires systematizing, within contemporary medical education, the use of combined professional training methods and styles, based on the principle of content accessibility across the diverse disciplines of the medical degree program.

Objective: To propose a combined professional training methodology for biosafety education in third-year medical students.

Methods: A quasi-experimental, cross-sectional study was conducted. The population consisted of third-year medical students rotating through Vladimir Ilich Lenin Hospital in Holguín. Groups 2 and 4 were selected as the sample using purposive sampling, due to their similar training outcomes, for a total of 54 students. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to test the research hypothesis.

Results: This study presents a blended learning methodology for biosafety training in medical students, along with the main achievements and shortcomings observed during its implementation throughout the training period.

Conclusions: Blended learning is designed to make content accessible to third-year medical students and is implemented through the integration of academic, practical, and research components. This integration of face-to-face and virtual learning (virtual classrooms and mobile devices) serves as a means of providing biosafety training to medical students.
