Abstract

It is essential that the training occurring across programs in the health sciences not only provides students with the knowledge necessary to correctly perform their role, but also to safely practice as health care professionals in the workforce.  Curriculum in health science programs is typically very content heavy, which requires both the instructor and student to wade through vast amounts of information in order to determine the crucial elements necessary to practice.  Additionally, it is not sufficient for a student to simply memorize content; they must be able to apply that content to clinical practice.  Utilizing an active learning strategy such as the flipped classroom fosters the student’s ability to apply content to practical situations, they are likely to encounter in their professional practice.
