摘要:

Three-year curricula, once a proliferating innovation in medical education, are now rapidly waning with the fading of capitation support and the easing of physician manpower shortages. In this article the authors examine faculty opinion of a three-year medical program at the Ohio State University. Using a Likert attitude-scaling technique, the authors developed a questionnaire and administered it to full-time faculty members. Five issues upon which faculty opinion was found to be most diverse include: adequacy of content in a three-year program, time available for faculty to do research, work demands on faculty, basic medical knowledge of three-year students, and quality of post-M.D. positions obtained by three-year graduates. Overall, three general deficiencies in the three-year curriculum, as perceived by faculty, emerged: students have limited instruction in basic medical knowledge and skills; unnecessary emotional, physical, and economic demands are imposed; and neither student learning nor quality of teaching is enhanced.

摘要:

The College of Medicine at the University of Arizona was among many medical schools instituting a course of study leading to graduation in three years. Students and faculty found the three-year program to be an unsatisfactory educational experience. Among the major problems were excessive intensity of classroom work, insufficient vacation time, and inadequate time to teach important basic science material. Objective measures of student performance demonstrated no differences between graduates of the new program and students graduating from a traditional four-year curriculum. A process of curriculum review involving students, faculty, and administrators ultimately resulted in several curricular improvements and establishment of a new four-year program.

摘要:

For some time there has been concern regarding the future and relevance of both public health departments and departments of community medicine. Problems have developed as to how these agencies can be in the main stream of the health delivery system and maintain quality in service, research, and teaching. In this paper the authors describe an experimental health care delivery and teaching model, the health-department/medical-school affiliation. They analyze the conceptual basis for the affiliation and discuss the critical items in the affiliation agreement in the belief that such an arrangement could have an impact comparable with that which the medical-school/teaching-hospital affiliation had 40 years ago. The options opened by the new affiliation should serve to release the full potential of community medicine and public health in the United States.

摘要:

The current shortage of primary care physicians demands that medical schools implement procedures to ameliorate this deficiency. Two general approaches to the problem were evaluated in regard to their utility as possible solutions. It was concluded that only an approach that advocates medical curriculum manipulation offers a viable direction for medical educators. Conversely, a technique that focuses primarily on the selection of medical school applicants possessing certain biographical characteristics was found to have a number of inherent shortcomings that negate its effectiveness.

摘要:

A film emphasizing the importance of tachypnea as an early manifestation of congenital heart disease was shown to physicians and nurses at 27 hospitals as part of their regular continuing medical education activities. To evaluate the effects of the program, investigators developed a pretest-posttest design which included a nonequivalent control group. Pretest and posttest data were obtained through chart audit of referrals from subjects in experimental and control groups. Dependent variables used to test the hypothesis included the age at which infants were referred and the age at which tachypnea was noted. Analysis of the data yielded significant gain scores for the experimental group, while changes in the control group were not significant. The findings indicate that a need-oriented educational program can have a measurable impact on improving the quality of patient care.
