Medical education requires innovative and effective teaching models to enhance student engagement, critical thinking, and clinical decision-making skills. The Active Collaborative Learning (ACL) model has emerged as a promising pedagogical approach that fosters active participation, teamwork, and problem-solving. This article explores the application of the ACL model in medical education, its benefits, and challenges, and suggests best practices for successful implementation [1,2]. Active Collaborative Learning (ACL) is an educational approach that emphasizes active student participation, teamwork, and problem-solving. It shifts learning from a passive, lecture-based model to an interactive, student-centered one. In medical education, where critical thinking, teamwork, and hands-on experience are crucial, ACL can significantly enhance learning outcomes. Below are key applications of the ACL model in medical education [3].
