Abstract
Teaching innovation in Health Sciences requires active methodologies that promote interdisciplinary learning, clinical reasoning, and collaborative teamwork. The aim of this study was to design, implement, and evaluate an interdisciplinary learning strategy based on clinical materials intended for students from different healthcare degree programs, specifically Medicine, Nursing, and Physiotherapy, to foster a comprehensive understanding of both the patient and the healthcare process. To achieve this, contextualized clinical cases and explanatory audiovisual materials were developed from the perspectives of the three disciplines involved, complemented by interactive quizzes. Reflection and discussion activities were also incorporated to reinforce students' understanding of the role of each healthcare profession. A total of 226 responses were collected from the knowledge questionnaires and 156 from the evaluation questionnaires. The percentage of correct answers ranged from 80.8% to 97.9%, depending on the thematic block assessed. Students' perceptions were positive, with an overall mean satisfaction score of 4.31 ± 0.85 out of 5 and 82.3% positive evaluations, highlighting the contribution of the activity to interdisciplinary learning and the usefulness of the educational materials. This strategy promotes meaningful learning and contributes to the development of essential interdisciplinary competencies for clinical practice and teamwork in healthcare settings.
