摘要:

This annual report on applicants to the 1977--78 U.S. medical school freshman class describes the first substantial decline in applicants during the past quarter century. Since the decline was accompanied by the opening of several new medical schools, the chances of gaining admission improved to 39 percent, the highest in six years. For applicants making their first attempt the acceptance rate was 43 percent. There was no loss of qualified applicants, however; the 1977--78 pool presented record-high entrance test scores and undergraduate college grades. In the report comparisons are made with activity in 1974--75--the peak year for medical school spplicants--in order to measure the impact of the decline on individual medical schools and geographical regions and on various applicant subpopulations.

摘要:

With increasing concern for teamwork in clinical practice in health care settings, the need to identify the concepts, methods, and learning processes for improving interdisciplinary team skills is apparent. This paper describes patient-centered, clinical-research-demonstration programs for teams of students, preceptors, and faculty members from six disciplines who provided patient care in a long-term rehabilitation setting. The teams were involved in the theory and practice of team-building, including weekly sessions on leadership styles, communication, group decision-making, and team effectiveness assessment. Objective and subjective measurements were administered throughout the program. The results indicate that task-oriented patient care favors the learning of team skills, especially when all levels of administration support and participate in the processes. Question are raised concerning the effect of clinical teams on the quality of patient care, their cost-effectiveness, and the low priority given to teaching interdisciplinary team skills in professional education.

摘要:

All medical students in a six-week psychiatric clerkship met once a week in “experiential groups.” One week after the last group session a concluding and evaluative discussion was held. A detailed description of the students' responses and reactions is given. The results indicate that for the majority of the students, the experiential group was the most significant personal and learning experience they had during the clerkship. It effected better interpersonal communication among the students and improved their humane skill, empathy, and sensitivity.

摘要:

The author has conducted seminars with small groups of medical students beginning their training on an obstetrics and gynecology service. Six characteristic responses of students to performing their first pelvic examination are described. Within the framework of the seminar discussion, an attempt is made to help the students cope with those reactions that could impair their ability to perform competent gynecological examinations.
