Tutorial resource development for Medicine Health Maintenance B (HMB)

I developed a tutorial resource for a Medicine Phase 1 Health Maintenance B (HMB) pathology tutorial on portal hypertension. During multiple practical sessions, I noticed that several students identified portal hypertension as an area of confusion and had similar questions. The students particularly liked an analogy I provided as part of my explanation. As a result, I collaborated with the Pathology team to create a PowerPoint resource for a HMB pathology tutorial which elaborated further on my analogy to help improve student understanding. This was ultimately distributed to Phase 1 students and utilised within tutorial classes. As a result I received very positive verbal feedback from multiple students who found the resource helped them “understand it much better now” and “made it make so much more sense” (HMB, 2024).
