摘要:

SummaryThe McMaster Undergraduate Medical Programme is unique in several ways, and has been fully described elsewhere. There are no formal ‘courses’ in separate discipline areas and no statutory examinations. Emphasis is placed on the study of clinical problems (problem based learning) throughout the programme and students are encouraged to develop independent study habits. To support this programme a variety of learning resources have been developed. In this paper, one such learning resource developed by the Department of Anatomy is described. Key morphological subject areas have been identified and ‘modules’ assembled which contain various physical items to illustrate the subject, with instructions provided in print format or on audiotape. The materials contained in a module range from specimens, prosections, annotated charts, and models, to radiographs, pathological and histological materials, films and slide/tape shows. Teachers are available to be consulted by the students. Self evaluation exercises are provided in the modules. This method of providing self study material is a major method of learning in morphology and is being further developed and extended into other programmes. The module has been warmly received by teachers and by students in both the Undergraduate M.D. and other Health Science Pro

摘要:

SummaryLive models were introduced into the first‐year gross anatomy course to provide medical students with an opportunity to apply to the living person what they learned from cadaver dissection. After each major segment of the cadaver dissection, clinical correlation sessions were presented for the students by clinicians, using live models for demonstration, examination and correlation. At the completion of the course, an evaluation questionnaire was given to students. Their response indicated that the new teaching technique made anatomy seem more relevant to clinical medicine than using cadavers alone. Live models were rated superior to using cadavers, especially in demonstrating superficial anatomical structures and landmarks.On the basis of student response it was concluded that this programme provided medical students with a unique introduction to living human anatom

摘要:

SummaryThis paper analyses and discusses the degree of homogeneity existing in the medical school student population of the Queen's University, Belfast, in relation to certain characteristics: social class, academic attainment, admission standards, intelligence test scores, and personality. Findings are compared with those reported in earlier studies elsewhere. No sex difference in social class distribution of Queen's medical students is noted. There is a much lower proportion of social class I students and a higher social class III proportion, than shown elsewhere in Britain (Johnson, 1971).Women constitute 38% of the medical school student population, a proportion in line with the 40% reported as the overall British percentage (Brit. Med. J., 1976). Females are shown to have a significantly better overall academic record than males, related to intelligence, aptitude for certain subjects and probably to behavioural and attitudinal differences to study and medical care. No significant sex differences are noted in relation to entry qualifications, intelligence, and the personality factors of extraversion and neuroticism. Male A‐level scores in the present study are useful predictors of academic success in the medical course, but this is only true for females up to 2nd M.B. stage. General practice is the exception for both sexes, there being no significant correlations with general practice scores. Highly intelligent females and males below their group intelligence mean performed significantly better in learning situations in general practice as reflected in general practice scores, than highly intelligent males. The data may reflect different attitudes to whole person care and varying abilities to integrate knowledge and to define problems in primary care.These findings, including the sex differences in the factors related to academic attainment in the later clinical years of the medical curriculum, may have implications with regard to present selection procedures to most medical schools based solely on A‐level gra

摘要:

SummaryAn attempt was made to trace all the male Medical Graduates from Liverpool University in the years 1950–1954 inclusive, in order to find out where they were working and what work they were doing 20 years later. Of the original group of 288 Graduates, 272 (94.4%) were both traceable and practising medicine. Of these 272, 15.1% were found to be working abroad and 84.9% working in the U.K. (51.5% in the North West and 33.5% elsewhere in the British Isles). Of those abroad (forty‐one in number), about one third were in Canada, a further one third in Australia or New Zealand and about one quarter in the U.S.A.—these three areas accounting for 92.6% of all those abroad. The mean time of emigration was 9.6 years after graduation, with over two thirds emigrating between 5 and 14 years after graduation. Of those in the U.K. (231 in number), the majority were in General Practice (50.6%) and a further 32.1% had specialized in Hospital or Academic Medicine. These figures should be treated as orders of magnitude, since there are a number of possible sources of minor

摘要:

SummaryCigarette smoking among medical students at the University of Bristol (Bristol) and the New York University School of Medicine (NYU) was investigated and differences were subjected to statistical analysis.At Bristol 34–6% and at NYU 14–3% of respondents classified themselves as regular smokers. Among students in the pre‐clinical phase of training the difference between the number of smokers at Bristol and at NYU was not significant. At both schools more clinical students smoked than preclinical students, but only at Bristol did the difference between the number of smokers in the two grade levels reach statistical significance.There are fewer heavy smokers (consumers of more than twenty cigarettes per day) among the pre‐clinical students at Bristol than among preclinicals at NYU. In the clinical year, however, there were slightly (insignificantly) fewer heavy smokers at NYU while there were significantly more at Bristol.Smokers at NYU acquired the habit at a somewhat earlier age than the smokers at Bristol.The majority of students at both schools indicated that medical education had not influenced their decision to smoke or not to smoke.Most smokers—more among the clinical than the pre‐clinical students—reported that they were displeased with their habit and that they wished to give it up. Somewhat fewer smokers at Bristol gave that response than students at NYU.Factors contributing, at least in part, to the differences between smoking patterns observed may be variables of age and years of education.The widely held but untested belief that precept and example by medical school teachers may be a potent force for modifying the smoking behaviour of health professionals, is in nee
