LEVERAGING BLENDED LEARNING FOR ENHANCED MEDICAL EDUCATION

Blended learning, combining traditional face-to-face instruction with online learning components, has gained prominence in medical education as a means of enhancing flexibility, accessibility, and learner engagement. This paper reviews the existing literature to evaluate the effectiveness of blended learning models in medical educational organizations. Through a comprehensive analysis of empirical studies, the paper examines the impact of blended learning on learning outcomes, student satisfaction, and the overall educational experience in medical training programs. The findings suggest that blended learning models offer numerous benefits, including improved knowledge retention, increased learner autonomy, and enhanced collaboration among students. However, challenges such as technological barriers, faculty resistance, and the need for pedagogical redesign must be addressed to maximize the potential of blended learning in medical education. Recommendations for future research and practice are provided to guide the continued integration and optimization of blended learning models in medical educational organizations.
