Supporting Higher Education—Hospital Transition through Blended Learning

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to present two exploratory studies that have a potential for identifying research-based blended learning tools for CBME. The studies focus on the development of a group of medical students’ professional image (in Genova and Rome) during their hospital internship. The paper addresses three related questions: 1. How does their professional representation change in the transition from university to hospital? 2. Which competences emerge from the students’ reports? 3. Which competences are still under represented
