Abstract

Introduction: This study evaluates the impact of a two-hour team-based learning (TBL) curriculum on medical students' knowledge, comprehension, ethical understanding, and attitudes towards psychedelic therapies.

Methods: Sixty-three pre-surveys and fifty post-surveys assessed students' perceived knowledge and attitudes using Likert scales. Forty-eight matched pre/post-knowledge tests with multiple-choice questions quantified changes in comprehension. The TBL approach featured independent learning, team readiness assessments, and application exercises.

Results: Post-curriculum, students demonstrated significantly improved test scores (mean 41.4% increase, p < 0.0001) and more positive attitudes across 16 of 18 items (p ≤ 0.0495). Overall attitude scores increased 23% (p < 0.0001). Qualitative feedback reflected enhanced comfort discussing psychedelics clinically. While some students expressed support for psychedelic-assisted therapy, others cited reservations.

Discussion: This innovative curriculum bridged an important education gap given the increasing relevance of psychedelic medicine. Findings suggest TBL enhances medical student preparedness in this emerging field. Continued curricular development is warranted to ensure proper psychedelic education aligns with patient needs and legislative policies. As psychedelic research progresses, maintaining instructional excellence is crucial for future healthcare professionals.

研究团队学习对医科学生理解和看待迷幻疗法的影响。

简介：本研究评估了两小时团队学习（TBL）课程对医学生对迷幻疗法的认识、理解、伦理理解和态度的影响：本研究评估了两小时团队学习（TBL）课程对医学生对迷幻疗法的认识、理解、道德理解和态度的影响：方法：使用李克特量表对 63 名学生进行了课前调查，并对 50 名学生进行了课后调查，以评估他们对迷幻疗法的认知和态度。四十八道多选题的前后知识匹配测试量化了理解能力的变化。TBL 方法的特点是自主学习、团队准备评估和应用练习：课程结束后，学生的考试成绩有了明显提高（平均提高 41.4%，p p ≤ 0.0495）。总体态度分数提高了 23%（P 讨论）：鉴于迷幻医学的相关性日益增加，这一创新课程弥补了重要的教育缺口。研究结果表明，TBL 提高了医学生在这一新兴领域的准备程度。有必要继续开发课程，以确保适当的迷幻药教育符合患者需求和立法政策。随着迷幻药研究的进展，保持教学的卓越性对未来的医疗保健专业人员至关重要。
