Abstract

The global transformation of medical education emphasizes modern teaching and learning methodologies to address the evolving needs of healthcare professionals. Traditional lecture-based methods are being replaced or complemented by innovative approaches such as problem-based learning (PBL), case-based learning (CBL), team-based learning (TBL), flipped classrooms, and simulation-based education. These methods foster critical thinking, collaborative problem-solving, and active participation among students. Technological integration, including e-learning platforms, virtual simulations, and augmented reality, has revolutionized medical education, enhancing accessibility and interactive learning experiences. Competency-based education and interprofessional collaboration are increasingly prioritized to align educational objectives with healthcare system demands. However, challenges such as resistance to change, resource limitations, and maintaining assessment validity persist. This study provides a comprehensive review of modern teaching strategies, their benefits, and their implementation in medical education, with an emphasis on fostering student-centered learning environments to prepare future professionals for complex healthcare challenges.
