摘要:

SUMMARYAlthough the inclusion of the teaching of clinical communication skills is common in the training of health professionals, few published papers exist which either describe the theoretical basis of such teaching or provide comprehensive assessment procedures. This paper highlights the contributions of behavioural analysis and, centrally, the development of cognitive scripts or schemata to the understanding of the teaching of clinical communication skills. A model for a course designed explicitly to develop such scripts is described and the implications of such an understanding are discussed.

摘要:

SUMMARYIn this paper we describe a method (the Behaviour Change Project) for teaching ‘behaviour change’ principles to medical students. The project involved their changing a self‐identified aspect of their own behaviour. In evaluating the project by an anonymous questionnaire (response rate 84%), most students reported enjoying the project and found it helpful in some way, particularly in learning about their own behaviour and the processes of behaviour change. While nearly all listed positive outcomes for themselves or others, some also listed negative outcomes or difficulties, such as in measuring behaviour change. The majority of students thought that the project would be useful in changing medical student behaviours related to clinical work. Possible extensions of the project are discussed, including its application to improving relationships with patients, increasing tolerance, strengthening ethical behaviour in clinical or research contexts, and in training specific clinical s

摘要:

SUMMARYMedical students' attitudes towards psychiatry before and after their final (sixth) year psychiatric clerkship at a large psychiatric hospital were measured. We anticipated that exposure to severe, chronic psychiatric illness would affect student attitudes, and we undertook this study to investigate the direction and parameters of attitude change. However, no significant change in attitude was found. Variables considered included the students' interest in a career in psychiatry, their perception of the adequacy of their psychiatric training, their final examination results, and the gender of students and preceptors, none of which were found to correlate with attitudes.

摘要:

SUMMARYThere has been increasing interest in curriculum innovation in many medical schools. The pedagogic principles for learning and for assessment should be congruent. Changing the curriculum and pedagogic principles for medical education implies that the examinations should also be adapted to the new principles. At the Faculty of Health Sciences, Linköping University, we use a student‐oriented programme with problem‐based learning, early patient contact, multiprofessional integrated education, and integration between basic science and clinical medicine and between traditional medical subjects. We also encourage the students to adopt a scientific attitude from the very beginning. To assess the students at the conclusion of the medical curriculum, we have developed a new form for the final examination containing measurements of clinical ability based on a videotaped patient consultation, an assessment of the student's performance and presentation of a scientific project, the student's analysis of a published scientific paper and an extensive oral examination based on the students' own scientific papers. Our experience, including results from questionnaires to students and teachers, is that the method is suitable for a final examination and assesses qualities that we previously were not able to as
