Introducing and validating DramaZoom as a teaching tool for diverse student populations

In this episode of The APS Publications Podcast, featuring Advances in Physiology Education, join coauthors Helena Carvalho and Patricia Halpin as they discuss DramaZoom is a teaching tool paired with a pretest to activate memory. It promotes learning for both medical students and undergraduate students with different majors in the study cohort. DramaZoom creates an opportunity for a fun learning experience that promotes knowledge gain in physiology regardless of whether the teaching setting is face to face or completely virtual. Future research will be done to investigate the long-term retention of content.
