Abstract

Integrated education is defined as a combination of face-to-face education and e-learning, in which information and communication technologies are used, as well as providing face-to-face classes, for the learning of science seekers. In the last ten years, integrated education has been recognized as one of the most widespread learning methods in the education community and has met with great success and acceptance. Currently, many educational systems of universities, especially universities of medical sciences, have embraced this method. In this article, integrated education approaches in medical sciences universities have been studied and introduced. This article is a case study and information collection has been done using printed and electronic documents related to the topic. The successful teaching of university courses to students, the ongoing training of medical professionals, and patient education for expedited treatment are some of the methods used in integrated education in the medical sciences. Raising patients' and the public's general knowledge is a crucial component of integrated education. Currently, access to electronic information is easy, while holding a class for all people is difficult and expensive. For this reason, electronic methods and the creation of knowledge-based bases increase the chances of people learning health methods, especially in developing countries.
