From the 2023 Clinical Laboratory Educators Conference
(Recorded 3/2/2023)
Presented by Krystina Angelini, MS,
SM(ASCP)CM, and Jennifer McBride, MS,
MLS(ASCP)CM
The rigor of the MLS
curriculum challenges students to amass large amounts of knowledge and skills
within a relatively short time frame, which can lead to student burn out/brain
fatigue. This session describes the creation and implementation of active
learning strategies in the form of common childhood games to reinforce
curricular concepts and increase student engagement.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
At the conclusion of this presentation, participants will be able to:
- Discuss the benefits of active learning in the classroom.
- Apply game based learning strategies to common medical laboratory education units
- Identify additional opportunities for game based learning in MLS coursework
