摘要:

The overhead projector is a very useful adjunct to other teaching aids. It is easy to operate, flexible, and the lecturer can work it himself while facing the audience. Transparencies can be produced quickly and simply, and since they are large enough to be studied without viewing equipment, sets of transparencies can be kept in libraries for the benefit of students revising particular subjects.

摘要:

Reliable and rational methods of selecting medical students are necessary if valid decisions are to be made concerning each of the enormous number of ap plications to medical school. Not only academic aptitude but also broader sociolegal concerns must be taken into account. The advantages and disadvantages of aptitude tests, reliance on premedical academic achievement, admissions interview and personality tests are considered, and a plea made for heterogeneity and variety among the criteria used to evaluate candidates.

摘要:

Medical teaching is somewhat more complex now than it used to be, especially if one accepts that it should be for the benefit of the learner and not only for the satisfaction of the teacher. Twelve functions which the medical teacher should assume are described. Teachers should feel satisfied if they fulfil only a few of these tasks, because the present educational environment does not greatly help them along this road.

摘要:

At Guy's Hospital Medical School the student's preconception of the relationship between medicine and society is challenged in a clinical situation and during a series of seminars. By confronting students with their own ideas rather than those of the teacher, learning is facilitated.

摘要:

A combination of a shortage and maldistribution of health manpower and growing public discontent about the quality of care available, associated with heightened expectations, has put a great strain on the health care delivery system of Iran, which even massive importation of foreign doctors has not eased.The Fassa project was conceived to address health needs by training first medical then other health personnel, based on the philosophy of community orientation, problem-based learning and student-based curriculum, combined with innovations in staff and student selection and training.This paper gives an account of what was planned and has taken place since the first intake of students in April 1978. Early results seem to indicate that students, no matter how rigid their past educational experience or how passive their learning habits, respond eagerly and most capably when given a chance.

摘要:

Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) have been used in examinations of some medical schools in the UK for more than 20 years, and for at least as long in the USA. It is rare for a medical student not to meet an MCQ paper at some time in his career, and MCQs are widely used in postgraduate examinations. Most of the current controversy related to MCQ tests is concerned more with the advantages and disadvantages of the various types of question used, the place of the‘don't know’option and the methods by which papers are scored and analysed, than whether the format has a place among assessment methods. Yet it cannot be denied that the topic of MCQs still generates suspicion and antagonism in some quarters, both among students and teachers. It is, therefore, appropriate that we should stand back and consider the technique objectively.

摘要:

Medical school training in sexuality focusses primarily on the problems of the patient. This paper describes a learning module designed to provide the medical student with learning activities which enable him/her to cope with personal sexual attitudes and feelings in regard to the patient. Anecdotes illustrating how students have responded to their increased awareness are included. A questionnaire survey indicated that 93 per cent of the students found the module helpful.

摘要:

Each issue, someone connected with medical eduuation will present a diary of a week in his or her life. Our first contributor, Richard Wakeford, is not strictly a Medical Teacher; he works for the Regius Professor of Physic and the Dean at the new clinical medical school at Combridge University, monitoring the two-year course there.
