Implementing Kolb´s Experiential Learning Cycle by Linking Real Experience, Case-Based Discussion and Simulation

A course design according to Kolb's Experiential learning cycle, which integrates experience, theory and simulation, is a valuable addition to existing forms of teaching in medical education. Students appreciated both discussing personally experienced patient cases and the opportunity to re-practice similar cases in a simulated environment. To gain more insight into the learning effects, it is recommended to further explore this approach in a different context.
