摘要:

Hilaire Belloc wrote“They answered as they took their fees‘There is no cure for this disease.’”The profession to which he was referring is probably transparent, but what may be a little more opaque is that his comment could apply to those individuals who claim to run courses suitable for medical educators, including those who come from developing countries. However, for those who read the paperProgress of the WHO Global Teaching Training Programme 1969-1979 (WHO/EDUC/79.178), the truth of Belloc's words is as painful as Mark Twain's plea to“Always tell the truth because it will gratify the few and astonish the many.”

摘要:

In the new medical school at Leicester, general practice contributes to the student's curriculum in each of the five years. Most of the clinical teachers are practising general practitioners in the city and county, whose enthusiasm is a major pillar of the course. Teaching methods include role play and small-group teaching involving case presentation. All students are given, in advance of the clinical course, a workbook elaborating the educational objectives and explaining both the content of the course and the reason for the methods used. At present, Leicester is unique in having a separate examination in general practice as a component of finals.

摘要:

Assessment of problem-solving skills is best done by placing an individual in a problematical situation and observing his performance. This article examines the nature of medical problem-solving, and suggests ways of categorizing the various types of problems with which physicians must be competent. A process for constructing appropriate types of text exercises is described and techniques of assessing various components of problem solving skills are illustrated.

摘要:

This is the first of a number of articles on the use of small-group methods in medical education. The aim of this contribution is to introduce teachers to the underlying issues they must consider before embarking on a particular technique. The advantages of small-group learning are described and practical suggestions for facilitating effective small-group discussion are offered. Teachers are advised that the use of small groups for learning requires meticulous course planning. Specific examples of how small-group teaching methods can be used to advantage in preclinical and clinical courses will be published in future issues.

摘要:

The Nursing Qualifications (EEC Recognition) Order 1979 became law on 1 January 1980. The theoretical content of the training programme in the Nursing Directives should not cause any difficulty in the UK. It is the organization of practical experience for learners that is producing problems. Learners must now obtain clinical experience in maternity care, community care, mental health care and psychiatry, and care of the old as well as in medicine, surgery and paediatrics. Clinical teachers will have to be reallocated from acute areas to these specialist areas, with appropriate retraining. More attention will have to be paid to the basic teaching course for nurse teachers and to continuing education.

摘要:

This is the second in an occasional series of surveys of topical aspects of medical educational practice in the UK and elsewhere. It reports the results of an inquiry into the place in medical school curricula of practical work in accident and emergency medicine—‘casualty’—and describes teaching practices in A&E departments. The article demonstrates considerable differences in the arrangements made in the various medical schools, and also in the place of the subject within the final examination.

摘要:

The medical grand round is under attack—not least by Dr Jack Gilbert (Medical Teacher, 1979, 1, 314-315). The round forms a convenient symbol for the academic medical centre, for it fills a role as the showpiece of such institutions. It is impossible not to suspect that the assault on the round is a vicarious exercise: the real target is the academic centre itself, which must be exposed as an overprivileged, overspecialized ivory tower, lacking relevance to the community at large and diverting the medical student from the problems of primary health care.
