Integrating the STEAM approach into physics teaching: an interdisciplinary educational strategy for medical school students

Abstract

The article investigates the impact of integrating the STEAM model (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) into the medical physics curriculum. The study argues that the STEAM approach facilitates the development of interdisciplinary skills, creativity and critical thinking, all essential for the training of future medical professionals. Methods such as project-based learning, digital simulations and the integration of arts are analyzed, highlighting their role in increasing student motivation and engagement. The article also emphasizes the importance of ongoing teacher training and interdepartmental collaboration for the effective implementation of STEAM in medical education.
