“Flipped OR”: a modified didactical concept for a surgical clerkship in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery:



The concept of the clerkship at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery was modified into a modern and sustainable teaching model with a flipped classroom approach. The aim was to prove whether these changes increased the students’ learning success. For the preparation of the clerkship, an e-learning module with 10 chapters was established. Students were supposed to access one chapter ahead of each day’s seminar. A test to assess the gain in knowledge was undertaken before and after participating in the clerkship.
