摘要:

The authors discuss the five steps they have used to share control with participants over the planning, implementation and evaluation of a workshop: (1) establish a co-operative learning climate; (2) provide resources for participants to identify their individual learning needs; (3) assist participants in organizing learning groups and defining objectives for each workshop session; (4) provide support for participants to manage the workshop sessions themselves; and (5) encourage participants to reject on and evaluate their learning.

摘要:

This essay proposes reform of the preclinical curriculum which is seen as deficient in both content and method. The period of preclinical study should have a dual purpose: to provide a vocational training in basic scientific knowledge essential to good clinical practice, and to educate medical students in the methods and skills of science. These purposes are best separated. The vocational element constitutes a core curriculum which could be constructed from a consideration of the basic scientific knowledge used by clinicians in their medical practice. A core curriculum could be prepared and examined on a national basis, and would provide a means for quality control of medical education. The timetable space thus liberated would be used for project work in medical sciences, using the teaching methods of science degrees. The proposed curriculum combines the discipline of vocational relevance with the educative potential of an honours BSc, but with no requirement for increased resources or alterations in manpower. It may be seen as a shift from theory towards practice during preclinical study. Strategies for introducing such a system are discussed.

摘要:

The clinical clerkship in Canadian Medical Schools is intended to provide senior medical students with opportunities to gain practical knowledge of clinical medicine, develop technical skills, learn to use judgement and experience first-hand clinical decision making. Assessment of rotations in internal medicine were undertaken in order to understand more fully the nature of medical clerkship experiences. We found that medical clerks in our programme were exposed to a high proportion of undifferentiated problems and an adequate case mix. They performed a wide range of technical procedures. There were, however, certain gaps in the clerks' experiences both in the specialty areas, and in therapeutic and technical procedures. Recognition of these gaps in the clerkship experiences suggests that further deliberation of goals and objectives is required and issues of achievement of competencies need to be addressed.

摘要:

Student-patient contacts on the wards were monitored by having students keep daily logs of patient contacts during a 5-week period of routine clinical attachments in a teaching hospital. After being discharged patients were followed up by postal questionnaire. Results indicated that on average students spend substantially less time with patients than is allowed for in the curriculum. Variability in contact time was high both within and between attachments to different wards. Patient satisfaction with student contact was high. The duration of student-patient contact was not significantly related to patient satisfaction. There was a significant relationship between patient satisfaction and the number of different topics patients recalled discussing with students.

摘要:

There is a great need to review and critically assess medical education. Role-play has seen increasing use as an educational tool. We investigated its role in a‘conventional speciality’, Obstetrics and Gynaecology. This is a part of the medical curriculum where communication skills are particularly important, but difficult to learn in practice. Twenty-one medical students took part in three role-play case studies. An innovation we implemented was the use of‘time outs’which could be called at any time through a session. After the exercise students were required to complete a questionnaire designed to probe their attitudes towards the experience. The results indicate that this technique can be successfully used in teaching a conventional speciality. Unlike some previous studies we also found this to be a satisfactory tool in teaching the factual part of the course. We found the‘time out’innovation to be an important aid. We argue that there is an important niche for role-play in medical education.

摘要:

Role-play by students has been adopted as a teaching method for learning consultational skills during a primary health care posting for fourth year medical students in the National University of Singapore. This article describes the construction of the framework used, and reports on its evaluation by both the students and their teachers. The overall response to the session by the students was positive. Suggestions were then solicited to make refinements to enhance its efficacy as a teaching tool.

摘要:

The University Science Malaysia, Penang, the third medical school in Malaysia, is following an integrated curriculum. In this curriculum, the students are taught the subject of otolaryngology from the second year of their course unlike the traditional schools where they are taught in the fourth or fifth year. This paper describes how otolaryngology is introduced in this integrated, problem-based curriculum.

摘要:

An outline of an undergraduate course to teach medical students practical medical procedures early in their curriculum is described. Introduction of those skill as early as the second year has given the student ample time to practice those skills before graduation. Feedback has shown that the course has been successful in helping the students to master simple procedures by the time they graduate. Early demonstration of complicated skills has also facilitated the ability and confidence of the student to perform those skills during the internship.
