摘要:

This paper reports the results of a Delphi probe of the perceptions of medical school deans regarding the most significant changes in medical education and in the health care system which they expect to influence medical education over the next 20 years. The study, conducted in the first quarter of 1974, included an analysis of 54 potential changes distilled from over 440 suggestions. A composite view of the probability of occurring, impact on the system and percentage of deans favoring the change are presented. In general, the future is believed to hold more positive changes than negative ones, and those most likely to occur will come about in the near term. The results disclose few surprising conclusions but provide a structural description of areas of consensus and disagreement among deans.

摘要:

Using multivariate statistical techniques, a large number of variables describing medical school characteristics was reduced to five general dimensions of variation. Patterns of factor scores on these five dimensions served as the basis of a typology of 107 U.S. medical schools. The types of schools so identified were found to be related to the proportions of graduates entering different areas of medicine.

摘要:

The study reported here was designed to assess different aspects related to the research activities undertaken by students in medical school. An extensive questionnaire was administered to 580 graduating seniors which covered degree of participation in research, length of time, circumstances, importance of pay, and level of resulting benefit. Other information included career choice and primary interest. A profile of the research-oriented student emerged from the findings.

摘要:

It is generally agreed that the cost of an educational program includes elements other than instruction. Using medical education as a case study, the author begins this article by outlining the historical reasons for determining the costs of the educational program leading to the M.D. degree. Attention is then focused on the modeling approach taken by the Association of American Medical College for the determination of environmental costs of education. Finally, a generalized model is proposed which would make this methodology applicable to other educational environments.

摘要:

An algorithmic method for selecting quality journal articles is presented. The procedures are based on formalizations of existing evaluation mechanisms in scientific publication. The method was actually applied to the journal literature of the pharmacology of cardiac arrhythmias for the period 1967 to 1970. A comparison with the selected bibliographies of four recent publications showed that the method approximated some of the selections made by conventional subjective judgment.

摘要:

The medical curriculum at the University of Washington places considerable responsibility on the student in planning his education. This is provided for by assigning to elective courses 50 percent of the credits required for graduation. While the student has considerable freedom to choose among electives, as many credits are elected in the basic sciences as in the clinical disciplines. Four consecutive entering classes elected a disproportionately high number of credits in anatomy and pharmacology. A need for basic science courses in apparently perceived by the medical student, and their voluntary election is bound to facilitate learning. In new curricula the responsibility rests on the faculty to provide opportunities for detailed coverage of the various disciplines in order to cater to those students who are motivated to pursue them in greater depth.

摘要:

A three-month elective in medical education was undertaken by a first-year resident to obtain a background to prepare for a potential career in academic medicine and medical student teaching. This experience, jointly sponsored by the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and the Office of Medical Studies of the University of North Carolina School of Medicine, permitted the resident to investigate components of the clinical teaching-learning encounter, suggest means of improving clinical instruction, and develop a series of self-instructional materials. Stemming from this experience, a workshop on clinical teaching skills for faculty and house staff has been designed, and four self-instructional units on family planning have been added to the teaching program on the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Benefits to the resident of the elective are outlined, and guidelines for similar experiences are suggested.

摘要:

Medical education in the People's Republic of China is described as it was seen on a 10-week trip in 1973. The information was collected from five medical schools which were visited personally as well as from practitioners and citizens. An overview of the health care system indicates the relationships between education and practice. The three-year medical curricula from the five medical schools are reasonably similar; and in the state-controlled system of health care they are integrated with postgraduate training and continuing education. Goals of the educational programs, entrance procedures, and the medical school experience are discussed. The literature on medical education and practice in China is reviewed and compared with the data available during this recent visit. The lessons which might be learned are the methods of offering health care to massive populations and the organization of health professionals and paraprofessionals for such programs.
