Question 1

What was the study’s main purpose?

Accepted Answer

To evaluate the impact of integrating a commercial third-party resource into a preclinical curriculum and to examine student perspectives on integrated versus non-integrated TPRs.

Question 2

How was Rx Bricks™ integrated and assessed in the study?

Accepted Answer

Rx Bricks™ was integrated as a preclinical content framework in 2023–2024, and a single-group cohort design with multivariate linear and logistic regressions assessed the relationship between Bricks usage and academic performance; surveys captured student resource use and perspectives.

Question 3

Did integrating Bricks eliminate students’ preference for non-integrated resources?

Accepted Answer

No. Although Bricks usage was associated with modest academic benefits, ratings showed students found non-integrated resources more efficient and more exam-relevant, and preferences remained despite integration.
