Abstract	Introduction The flipped classroom teaching–learning method has been increasingly adopted in higher education to enhance student-centered learning. Despite its growing popularity, limited evidence exists regarding its effectiveness in medical education in Ethiopia. This study aimed to assess the impact of the flipped classroom method on academic performance, student engagement, and satisfaction among undergraduate medical students at Gondar University, College of Medicine and Health Science. Methods A quasi-experimental study was conducted involving 100 s-year undergraduate medical students, divided into two groups: the flipped classroom group (n = 50) and the traditional lecture-based group (n = 50). The flipped classroom group received online instructional materials before class, while classroom sessions focused on interactive activities. The traditional lecture-based group attended conventional lectures followed by homework assignments. Data were collected using pre- and post-intervention tests to measure academic performance, the Student Engagement Scale to gauge engagement, and a validated questionnaire to assess student satisfaction. Data were analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 25, with descriptive statistics, paired t-tests, independent t-tests, and Chi-square tests employed to interpret the findings. Results The flipped classroom group demonstrated a significant improvement in academic performance, with mean pre-test and post-test scores of 65.2 ± 8.1 and 78.6 ± 6.9, respectively. In contrast, the traditional lecture-based group had pre-test and post-test mean scores of 62.8 ± 7.5 and 74.2 ± 8.3, respectively. Additionally, the flipped classroom group showed higher levels of student engagement mean scores of 4.5 ± 0.8 and satisfaction mean scores of 4.2 ± 0.7 compared to the traditional lecture-based group, which had engagement mean scores of 3.8 ± 0.6 and satisfaction mean scores of 3.9 ± 0.5. Chi-square tests showed a statistically significant association between the teaching method and both pass/fail rates and participation in activities, but not a significant association with gender distribution. Conclusion The flipped classroom approach proves to be a superior teaching method, promoting better academic outcomes and greater student engagement and satisfaction. This study adds to the growing body of evidence advocating for the implementation of flipped classrooms in medical education. Trial registration Not applicable.
