摘要:

A questionnaire survey of the 112 U.S. medical schools was conducted to determine the content and format of occupational health teaching during the 1977--78 academic year. In only 46 (50 percent) of the 92 responding institutions was occupational health specifically taught; and only 28 (30 percent) required it in their curricula, usually in the preclinical years. Among these 28, the median required curriculum time was four hours. Thirty-five (38 percent) of the responding schools offered a variety of elective courses or clerkships, mainly in the clinical years and taken by few students. Given the extent of work-related medical problems in the United States and the frequency with which almost all physicians see patients with work-related problems, much more of the core curriculum of medical schools should be devoted to occupational health.

摘要:

A combination of factors has resulted in medical students being placed in hospitals not accustomed to their presence. These factors include expansion of the number of medical students in United States schools, an increasing emphasis on primary care education, and the strengthening of medical education programs in hospitals and area health education centers (AHEC) not previously utilized as medical education facilities. The introduction of the students has caused some confusion in these hospitals which may contribute to less than optimal medical education. Some of the confusion is attributable to the lack of a clearly defined role for the medical student and the lack of delineation of the responsibility of other personnel in providing and permitting student access to the system. Presented here is a model of privileges and responsibilities which has been introduced in an AHEC with positive effects on the quality of medical education and improvement of interdisciplinary relations.

摘要:

Biometrics has been perceived by freshman medical students as a necessary but not immediately relevant part of their medical training. Because a student is more likely to learn and retain course content if he feels it is relevant, an attempt was made to change the students' perception of the biometrics course by introducing statistical methods as a means of solving some problems in the interpretation of clinical laboratory data. Retrospective analysis of student course evaluations over the last five years indicates that a significant change in student perception of the relevance of the course did occur.

摘要:

Despite an increased awareness of the importance of behavioral, psychological, and social aspects of medical care, physicians frequently fail to recognize problems in these areas. Therefore, a project was undertaken to improve house officers' recognition of these problems in an ambulatory population. An interviewer used a structured questionnaire to assess the patients' adherence to the therapeutic regimen, satisfaction with physician, psychiatric problems, recent stressful life events, and attitude toward illness. Recognition of medication noncompliance, psychiatric problems, and recent stressful life events was determined from a physician questionnaire and chart review for every patient interviewed. At the first clinic seesion after the interview, the author reviewed both the patient and physician questionnaires with the appropriate physician. The interviews identified a large number of potentially important problems which the patients' physicians had not recognized. While no change in problem recognition could be documented between the questionnaires administered at the beginning and end of the project, the vast majority of participating house officers felt that the project was worthwhile and should be continued.

摘要:

The clinical experience of 29 medical students from 14 medical schools, while they were taking elective preceptorships with 15 North Carolina family physicians, is compared with clinical experience in a university medical center in the same state and in practices from the neighboring state of Virginia. A total of 6,641 problem contacts, averaging 229 per student, were reported over a three-year period. Certain problems were recorded with higher frequency in the preceptorships than in the medical center, for example, acute infections, lacerations, prenatal care, obesity, and hypertension. These findings support the importance of preceptorships in supplementing the clinical experience of university medical centers, and the close similarity of these North Carolina data to those from Virginia suggests the usefulness of this type of information for planning medical school and residency curricula.

摘要:

Discussions about death, dying, and dissection during the first-year curriculum were initiated at the University of Massachusetts Medical School to deal with personal questions and emotions evoked by cadaver dissection. This report describes the evoluation of these discussions, their timing with respect to dissection, the present content of these sessions, and the importance of follow-up. Student response has been positive.
