摘要:

SummaryThe survey records the data supplied by the 290 respondents to a questionnaire sent out to the first 390 male graduates of the Royal Free Hospital School of Medicine who qualified during the 20 year period after the school became co‐educational in 1948.As might have been expected, there was a preponderance of students from homes in Greater London and South East England.Whilst an equal entry of male and female students was felt desirable the achievement of this objective was slow, since selection was based on merit and the male applicants in the first few years seemed less well qualified for the medical training.During the period of the survey half of the entry was at the premedical stage and the average age for starting preclinical studies was 20.0 years—a little higher than that (18.9) recorded in the ASME survey for the 1966 entry to medical schools.A slightly higher number of Royal Free men took higher degrees and diplomas than did the women. On the number available it appeared that a higher percentage of Royal Free men took MRCP as compared with women or Birmingham graduates. The DA and DCH qualifications were more favoured by women than men.Three times as many men worked in, and twice as many lived in London as in South East England, a situation that was the reverse of that for Royal Free women. There was no evidence to show that the men preferred to do career training in London and then move out.A greater number of Royal Free men and women were doing hospital work rather than general practice, in contrast with Birmingham graduates, although it would seem likely from the expressed career preferences that a considerable number of the Royal Free men would eventually take up general practice.A much greater number of Royal Free men than Birmingham graduates were practising surgery. Medicine and obstetrics were more favoured by Royal Free men than women or Birmingham doctors. The Royal Free women favoured anaesthetics, paediatrics, pathology and physical medicine as specialities as compared with the men. Of the respondents 5.4% were practising psychiatry as compared with 5.1% of Royal Free women and 4.4% and 4.3% of Birmingham graduates and those in the ASME survey, respectively.The survey showed that the respondents considered themselves to require training until about 6 years after qualification, 43.7% thought this was best done in a hospital post.In the majority of cases a definite career decision was made by Royal Free men within 3–5 years after qualification. About equal numbers chose hospital work with continuing patient responsibility and general practice as first choice for their career, though the numbers of Royal Free men with the preference for general practice was not in agreement with the number actually doing this type of work. For the location of the work there was a marked aversion to large provincial communities, London, South and South West England being favoured.Of the respondents, 14.5% had taken permanent appointments abroad and 13% had made arrangements to do so. The view quoted by Kilgour (1971) that financial benefit was not the strongest motivation for emigration was confirmed in the s

摘要:

SummaryAlthough our projections are not completely accurate, due to inadequate data and crude methods of approximation, three conclusions are inescapable:1The nation should give priority to planning new schools for health administrators and rural health workers, and to generally expanding present schools for paramedicals.2Plans should proceed rapidly for the two new medical schools.3A Health Manpower plan based on census information and special studies should be developed over the next 2 years. This plan should have input from all concerned ministries. (The Ministry of Health has regarded a proposal from University Associate ‘a group of Harvard, Johns Hopkins and A.U.B. professors' for technical cooperation in health services planning

SummaryThe detailed organization of an integrated medical sciences curriculum from its initial planning to the final stage of ‘automatic’ administration are described. Although some reduction in departmental autonomy results, this is outweighed by the advantages of a timetable and curriculum prepared, planned and carried out in a cooperative manner. Flexibility and scope for controlled change and experiment are retai

摘要:

SummaryThe programme described here concentrated on improving the lecture skills of medical teaching staff in a single department. The training format for this programme included videotaping faculty lectures, providing written feedback, and formal training sessions. As a result of participating in this programme members of teaching staff felt that their lecture skills had improved and wanted additional training in other areas of education. The significance of the programme rests not only with its impact on the staff of this specific department but in its being a pilot of an approach to teacher development utilizing an exclusively self‐instructional forma

摘要:

SummaryIn a study of attitudes towards the content of general practice teaching, it was found that there was good agreement between fifth year medical students and their general practitioner tutors. The social aspects of illness were considered the most important by students and both groups emphasized the value of seeing patients in their homes with time for discussion of cases. These findings are discussed in the context of the development of teaching in general practice at Glasgow University.

摘要:

SummaryThirty‐two first year medical students who attended a 1 day sex education workshop and seven of their classmates who did not attend the workshop were given the Sex Knowledge and Attitude Test (SKAT) both 1 month before and 3 months after the workshop. The workshop group on retest had scores significantly higher than their pretest scores in the areas of sexual knowledge, autoeroticism and sexual myths. The scores of the no‐workshop group did not change significantly on any of the parameters.Evidently, knowledge can be increased and attitudes liberalized by means of an intensive day‐long workshop and such changes may persist beyond the immediate period of the wor

摘要:

SummaryAssessment has been made of student performances in answering exam questions of different types. Three groups of students were tested on the same material in three different forms of examination: essay‐type question, essay‐type question modified by providing cues, and multiple choice question. The students performed better in multiple‐choice and in cued essay questions than in uncued essay questions. An important difference between essay questions and multiple‐choice questions is the provision of cues in the

摘要:

SummaryThe examination performance of a cohort of clinical undergraduates has been scrutinized. The cohort was notable for a high failure rate at the university preclinical examination, but this failure rate did not reappear consistently in all four final clinical subjects. The assaying examinations were not only valid for their objectives, but also measured a range of other attributes. Multiple choice question papers scores detect both quantitative and qualitative differences in knowledge between the high and low fail risk candidates. The effect of A‐level grade is variable but is carried up to the final qualifying examinations. High performers tend to have good A‐levels. The contribution of the preclinical course to the clinical qualifying examination was small, varied between the preclinical subjects and also between the clinical subjects and two streams of students. It is shown that lack of an adequate standard in science subjects before entry to university is associated with subsequent disadvantage in clinical training. Such disadvantage could be reduced by an introductory premedical course. The contributions made by the differing educational experiences within the cohort could be detected in many of the examinations; in particular, poor performance at the end of first clinical year pathology multiple choice questions paper examination was associated with poor performance at finals. Failure in the first part of finals indicated a likelihood of further failure, factors such as sex and motivation are shown to affect multiple choice question performance whilst others such as work‐overload do not. The high risk fail candidates can be detected 2 years before finals and might be given special educational treatment designed to improve their chance of first time success as there is no efficient way of identifying them before acceptance into the medical s
