摘要:

In view of the current emphasis on measurement of the quality of health care services, reflected in regulatory provisions and accreditation requirements, an inquiry was made as to the extent to which medical schools are presently offering formal training in the techniques of medical care evaluation. Of 118 medical schools surveyed, 24 responded with the information that they are actually providing such training. The training reported ranged from a one-hour lecture to five elective courses. The implications of the findings are discussed with reference to the need of physicians to become familiar with the principles and methods of scientific evaluation of medical care. Some of the areas that might be covered in courses on evaluation are discussed, and examples of two current programs are given.

摘要:

An outreach program for Dartmouth Medical School has been developed which utilizes rural communities in the education and training of medical students and residents in primary care. A correlated curricular track for primary care and a residency program have been established. The program is interdepartmental and administered by the dean, and services provided to patients are financed by fee-for-service. The cost incurred by the presence of residents and medical students is shared by the community and the medical school. The program is based on a close partnership between the medical school and the community in fulfilling their respective educational and service objectives.

摘要:

In this paper three review courses for the Educational Council for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) examination are described. A comparison of the pass rates on the January 1973 ECFMG examination for examinees taking the courses with those not taking the courses shows a statistically significant difference (47 percent passing for those taking the courses in contrast to 18 percent passing for those not taking the courses). Although the courses appear to be effective, the limitations of the ECFMG examination as a screening device for foreign medical graduates (FMGs) make it unwise to expand the number of such courses. The cramming of basic medical knowledge into students is not a useful solution to the problem of physician shortages. The focus of attention on the FMG in the health care system must shift from a search for expedient ways of providing for greater utilization of FMGs to the deleterious effects of this utilization on the quality of patient care.

摘要:

The ability to render more accurate predictions of the future will enable medical educators and administrators to make more advantageous policy and program decisions. Modern forecasting techniques and criteria to evaluate prognostic endeavors are described. Examples of how these methods can be applied to medical education are provided.

摘要:

Paradigms play an important role in the natural sciences. Basic medical science has primary paradigms from which are derived secondary paradigms that allow the practice of medicine. Medical education consists in students acquiring this paradigm and in practitioners changing their paradigm in the light of medical research. Problem-solving plays an important role in the acquisition of this paradigm. Unless educators, especially basic scientists, are aware of their own paradigm, communicating with others who hold different paradigms can be difficult and cause serious misunderstanding.
