especially with regard to the relationship between classroom and clinical learning. Which arrangement is most conducive to effective learning?
A) Classroom learning in the first third of the program, laboratory learning in the second third, and clinical learning in the final third of the program
B) An emphasis on classroom and laboratory learning in the first half of the program followed by clinical learning in the second half
C) A brief clinical placement at the beginning of the program followed by intensive classroom and laboratory learning with a longer, final clinical placement at the end of the program
D) Integration of classroom, laboratory, and clinical learning throughout the entire program
Ans: D

It is no longer believed that classroom instruction, followed by clinical instruction, is educationally sound. The trend today is to relate classroom theory, laboratory practice, and clinical experience by offering integrated sections over the length of the entire program.
