摘要:

Recruiting clinicians to teach bedside skills is often a challenge for Introduction to Clinical Medicine (ICM) course co-ordinations. Little data is available concerning what motivates a faculty to participate in these programmes. Better understanding of these factors might allow enhanced faculty involvement. We surveyed full-time and volunteer faculty as to what forces promote and hinder participation as preceptors for an ICM course. Results documented that both faculty groups found student interactions and teacher fulfillment their major reward, with little perceived academic or patient recognition. Personal time limitations was the greatest deterrent to particpation. Assessing faculty needs has allowed focused course changes and new activities to facilitate involvement.

摘要:

There is an increasing demand for improved skills by medical graduates in the psychosocial aspects of medical care. Psychiatrists as educators need to play an important role in the development and evaluation of education in many areas of the undergraduate curriculum in addition to the continuing education of graduates. In this review approaches to the evaluation of undergraduate psychiatric education are discussed with particular emphasis on students' attitudes to psychiatry. Key issues that remain to be addressed include the clarification of the most appropriate goals for undergraduate education in psychiatry, the most valid means of evaluating such educational programmes, particularly clinical competency and, finally, the many tasks in improving the status of the psychosocial aspects of medical care for students and their clinical teachers.

摘要:

A pilot study of the levels of stress among residents was conducted in three departments in a university hospital prior to initiating a programme in stress management for residents.The Beck Depression Inventory, which is a brief, standardized self-report measure of depression, was given to residents in anaesthesiology, paediatrics and psychiatry. Six additional questions were asked about the functioning of peers and services residents would like to have available.Of the 113 residents surveyed, 16% were experiencing a mild mood disturbance. The researchers feel this is probably under-reported. Residents felt that about 15% of their colleagues were emotionally impaired; 10% may have a drug and/or alcohol problem; 12% were having marital problems.Eighty per cent of all residents studied said that they would attend support groups if they existed. Approximately 60% thought coping skills/stress management seminars would be useful, and 30% of the paediatric and anaesthesiology residents (60% of the psychiatry residents) said they would use confidential indiviaual psychotherapy if it were available.

摘要:

This article reports the author's experience of designing, teaching and evaluating a weekly lunchtime seminar series for Family Medicine Programme trainees in Gippsland. After reviewing the objectives of the seminar series and characteristics of the participants, the article outlines the process and content of the course. Particular emphasis is given to seven seminars on key aspects of general practice/family medicine, which highlight the differences between the models, concepts and attitudes of specialists and teaching hospitals, and those of general practice. Results of evaluations of seminar series from the beginning of 1986 to the present time are reported and discussed. Overall, the seminar series has been found to be effective in helping trainees to develop an appropriate understanding of key aspects of general practice/family medicine; facilitating the transition for trainees from hospital practice to general practice; and in encouraging active participatory learning.
