Since its establishment in 2009, the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, University of Warmadewa has implemented a competency-based curriculum, in which teaching materials are grouped into block based on systems or themes. By this way, learning is expected to be more meaningful because clinical sciences can be introduced to student earlier. The study design was cross-sectional analytic where all students of the years 2016 and 2017 who underwent block 1.6 (Nervous System and Special Senses) were involved. From the present study we concluded that E-learning in combination with conventional learning method (blended learning) increased student achievement in final students assessment of the block Nervous System and Special Senses, hence E-learning can be applied as a supporting tool for conventional learning method.
