Abstract

Team-based learning (TBL) offers opportunities to tailor curricula to match specific aims and modalities of innovative medical education models. This paper describes a TBL curriculum developed for a longitudinal integrated clerkship (LIC) at an urban safety-net hospital. Similar to our LIC students' clinical training experience, which includes simultaneously meeting core competencies across specialties in an underserved setting, our TBL curriculum is multidisciplinary and integrates topics related to caring for vulnerable patients. TBL within our LIC avoids the limitations of teaching content in specialty specific silos, creating a cohesive didactic and clinical education model which is highly rated by our students.
