摘要:

This is a report of a survey of the interprofessional education activities included in 54 physician's assistant and 60 nurse practitioner programs. In a majority of such new health practitioner programs, the importance of interprofessional education as a part of training for team health care delivery has been recognized, and some structured interprofessional activity has been provided. A variety of methods are being used to achieve the objectives of effective team delivery of primary health care, including the mixing of students in both classroom and clinical settings and the inclusion of specific courses on role and professional identity. Seventy percent of physician's assistant students and 38 percent of nurse practitioner students in the programs included in the study have at least one classroom activity shared with another health profession group, most commonly medical students. Only a surprisingly small percentage of programs were involved in any evaluation of their interprofessional activities. In spite of the primary care orientation of new health practitioner programs, less than 40 percent offer clinical experience on a health team in a primary care setting.

摘要:

The topic of working relationships among health professionals is one which has long been neglected in professional school curricula. During the winter of 1976 students from four health professions--medicine, nursing, occupational therapy, and physical therapy--initiated a course designed to improve their knowledge of one another's training and skills, with the larger aim of preparing themselves to work in health care teams. The nine weekly meetings are described in terms of their content and students' reactions. In the discussion the underlying themes of legal responsibilities and of sex-roles as factors in health care team functioning are identified. Suggestions are made about format and techniques that seem to be useful for courses of this type.

摘要:

The terms “service,” “training,” “education,” and “learning” are ambiguous and lead to confusion in medical education. An alternate method of defining the terms is explored from the point of view of the role changes which students experience as they become medical practitioners. New definitions are developed. Repetitive activities or role changes not based on the acquisition of new knowledge and skills or supervision are called “noneducational.” Role refinements and changes based on the acquisition of new knowledge and skills only are called “educational.” Role refinements and changes based on the acquisition of new knowledge and skills and guided by supervision are called “training.” These operational definitions permit new approaches to program evaluation and a new basis for discourse between students and their teachers.

摘要:

Since language is the predominant instrument by which information is transmitted between doctor and patient, an understanding of the uses and functions of language in medicine is crucial to effective medical care. This paper describes a framework for the study of language as a tool in medicine. The work is based on a large volume of doctor-patient conversations tape-recorded in natural settings. A method of cataloging recorded material has been developed which allows rapid access to segments of interest on the tape itself. The writers' framework of analysis suggests that, in addition to the knowledge of social speech conventions, seven levels of linguistic information are necessary for successful communication. Based on this research, a curriculum is being designed to teach medical students the use of language as a tool in medicine in order to refine their skills as effective listeners and speakers.

摘要:

Attitudes toward the urban environment and place of origin were found to be the best predictors of an optometrist's practice location. When urbanism attitude and origin were scaled and placed in an equation to predict practice location, identification of an optometrist's practice location as rural or urban was highly accurate. Most important, scores on the equation were predictive of optometry students' future practice location. A single cutoff point on the equation correctly identified 79 percent of students who entered a rural or isolated small city practice and 81 percent of those who entered urban practice. The findings imply that optometry students most likely to enter rural practice can be objectively identified early in their training. If certain factors affecting choice of practice location are common to all health professions, the predictive equation presented here may be useful in the selection of students for rural practice in medicine.
