The webinar will frame the use of reflection through the lens of biomedical science as a practical way to assist students, moving beyond rote memorization to applied, integrated thinking. Beyond theory, strategies for integrating biomedical content into reflective activities will be considered for a variety of educational settings: traditional lectures, labs, problem-based learning, team-based learning and case-based learning. The webinar will conclude with an analysis of perceived barriers and solutions to barriers in the use of effective reflection.
