Abstract

Azhar-Ramzan Bilal, Zishan Naeem, Zain NisarFaculty of Medicine, St George’s Hospital Medical School, London, UK Undergraduate teaching represents a significant change in education style for individuals, presenting a challenge to preclinical medical students. Based on this, we were greatly interested in the study conducted by Parashar et al regarding the assessment of learning styles of medical students in India in the era of digitization.1 Pertinently, the authors identified most students possessed multimodal learning styles, with auditory and kinesthetic being most common. As medical students within the UK, we would like to offer our perspective through discussing the applicability of authors recommendations to the contemporary medical school in the UK.   View the original paper by Parashar and colleagues.
