Abstract
In medical education, understanding how students learn through different sensory modalities is vital for enhancing teaching effectiveness. Research indicates that approximately 65% of students are visual learners, while about 30% are auditory learners, and the remaining 5% rely on kinesthetic learning methods (1-3). This distribution emphasizes the need for educators to adopt multimodal teaching strategies that align with these preferences, as such methods foster active learning and deeper comprehension. Medical students particularly favor interactive and practical approaches, such as clinical skills labs and problem-based learning, which promote greater engagement and knowledge retention (3). By recognizing these preferred learning styles, educators can create inclusive environments that meet the diverse needs of all students. This letter aims to review recent research on the preferred learning styles and teaching methods of medical students, highlighting their implications for effective medical education.
