Wiki as a tool for the interdisciplinary learning in medical education

Integration of basic and clinical knowledge is essential in the education of medical students. Therefore, didactic methodology for the promotion of interdisciplinary and cross-curricular learning between different subjects must be developed. Students of the subjects of Physiology, Pharmacology and Hematology&Oncology,of 3 different years of the Medical Degree, were included in this learning activity. Participants were organized into heterogenous cooperative learning groups to create a wiki related to the COVID-19 Vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia and its pharmacological management. When acquisition of theoretical knowledge was evaluated, in a 10-point scales, 97% of the students obtained a grade of more than 7. Evaluation of the wiki and its oral presentation scored higher than 8,8 in all groups. Lastly, even if 30% of the students neither agree nor disagree with the project, the activity was evaluated positively by more than 50% of the participants who indicated that the development of the activity helped them better understand the theoretical concepts of the 3 subjects and connect them.
