Abstract

 Physiology is a core component of medical education that explains the mechanisms underlying normal body functions and provides a foundation for understanding disease processes. However, traditional lecture-based teaching often fails to adequately connect physiological theory with clinical practice. Integrating clinical cases into physiology teaching has emerged as an effective educational strategy to bridge this gap. This study aims to explore the role and effectiveness of clinical case integration in physiology education for medical students. A mixed-methods approach was used to compare traditional teaching with case-integrated instruction. The findings indicate that the use of clinical cases significantly improves students’ conceptual understanding, engagement, and ability to apply physiological knowledge in clinical contexts. The study concludes that incorporating clinical cases into physiology teaching enhances learning outcomes and better prepares medical students for future clinical practice.
