Objective To observing about how effect is the education prescription using by the medical students, looking into whether the manner can attach the students attention and improve on the retrieval ability for them. Methods Choosing one of the cases come from PubMed and drawing out a clinical question. Asking total 100 students to search literature and write search strategy, search results and the reason about the results by chosen (similar to appraisal evidence), and their self-evaluation of this process. Results Of the 100 students, 96 (96%) searched PubMed/MEDLINE, and 79 (79%) searched second research database, 28 (28%) searched Science Citation Index (Web of Science), 38 (38%) chosen one of ten articles according with the articles chosen by the overseas doctors. We found no students weren’t interesting in the education prescription, but 65 (65%) didn’t think the education prescription be easy achieved, at the same time they mentioned that the retrieval problems were solved or profited came from the practice. Conclusions Filling education prescription can attract students attention and induct them to learn the basic concept of EBM, and to practice how to searching evidence and the feedback of students can help improve on teaching work.
Objective To evaluate the role that problem based learning (PBL) teaching plays in the education of doctors. Methods A total of 240 7-year students who entered the China Medical University in Shenyang in 2004 were divided into two groups: one group used PBL teaching model while the second group used a traditional teaching model. There were 120 students in each group. At the end of the teaching, a questionnaire on PBL teaching model was distributed to the both groups. We organized and classified answers to the questionnaire and conducted statistical analyses. Results Problem based learning is a model for education in which students dominate the course, question the case, look for evidence, participate in the group discussion and reach resolution. This emphasizes the process of learning and the training of student abilities, instead of the teaching of knowledge only. PBL is more effective at meeting the requirements of the global minimum essential requirements in medical education (GMER). Conclusions PBL teaching plays an important role in the training of doctors
Objective To explore the model and significance of medical and surgical nursing teaching reform, so as to promote the development of academic disciplines and the quality-oriented education.Methods With the method of cluster sampling, the reform object of four-year nursing undergraduates of Grade 2006 and 2007 of Sichuan University, the reform content of the neurological system recorded in both medical and surgical nursing taught in the semester of Autumn 2008 and Autumn 2009, and with the pilot reform of neuropathies nursing teaching, the integration of medical and surgical nursing teaching reform was performed through lesson preparations, theoretical classroom instruction and clinical probation. Results The medical and surgical nursing teaching reform obtained a significant result. Compared with the undergraduates without integration reform of Grade 2004 and 2005, the students of Grade 2006 and 2007 were more satisfied (92.25 vs. 72.97; χ2=19.806, P=0.000) with both the increased real benefited academic hours and the double-increased clinical probation hours without any change of the total teaching hours. Conclusion The integration teaching of both medical and surgical nursing can promote the cultural convergence, and is conducive in fostering students’ holistic thinking and in integration and effective uses of resources.
As one of the first batch of pilot universities for the education reform of clinical medicine master program, Sichuan university has conducted in-depth research on the training models in medical schools from home and abroad since 2013. Relying on the platform of medical education collaboration, we have explored and gradually formed the “five early” education model for clinical medicine master program. This article summarizes the practical experience of “five early” education model from six dimensions, namely, PDCA management system, rules and regulations, platform support, database construction, case database construction and international exchange. In addition,, the achievements in the training of medical talents with comprehensive qualities are presented from the aspects of clinical skills, scientific research achievements, international exchanges and frontier innovation, The goal is to provide effective experience for clinical medical personnel training.
Human society has entered the age of artificial intelligence(AI). Medical practice and education are undergoing profound changes. The government strongly advocates the application of AI in the field of education and it has been incorporated into the national strategy. The integration of medical education and AI technology is changing the paradigm of modern medical education. This paper introduces the current application status of AI in medical education, and analyzes the existing problems and proposes corresponding resolutions, so as to lay a foundation for promoting the integration of medical education and AI.
Objective To investigate the reading habits of authors of articles published in the Chinese Journal of Evidence-Based Medicine (CJEBM) and to compare the findings with those from other surveys. Methods A total of 512 questionnaires were sent to authors who had contributed to CJEBM over the past 7 years. Results A total of 129 questionnaires were returned (response rate 31.6%). The replies showed that the main purpose of reading literature was to keep up with the latest developments in medicine (94% of replies). The main reading material was medical journals (86%). Most respondents (57%) spent more than 3 hours a week reading journals. The biggest problem identified by authors was the lack of full text papers, but the first choice was the electronic versions of the literature. More than half of the authors (57%) said that they spent less time reading than in the past. Conclusion Effective reading of the medical literature is a basic requirement in the practice of evidence-based medicine. It is necessary and important for clinicians and healthcare providers to improve their reading skills and methods.
Objective To learn and analyse the current clinicians’ knowledge and attitudes towards patient safety, and to provide relevant evidence for future medical education. Method We conducted a survey on clinicians mainly in West China Hospital of Sichuan University with group random sampling method. We analysed the data on the clinicians’ knowledge and attitudes with SPSS softerware. Result Totally 300 questionnaires were distributed, of which 258 were completed adequately. The results showed the clinicians’ knowledge on patient safety was poor, however, the respcnse from the clinicians in Outpatient Department were better than those in Inpatient Department. The majority of the clinicians (above 95.00%) were willing to learn the knowledge of patient safety. Conclusion As the clinicians are willing to learn the knowledge of patient safety positively, it is necessary to integrate patient safety education into the current medical education curriculum.
Traditional medical education is to develop uni-professionals,and is lacking of opportunities for interprofessional communication and interprofessional collaboration.The failure of communication and collaboration is an important cause of medical errors.Interprofessional education is a new strategy to remove professional prejudice,promote interprofessional collaborative competency and improve patients'outcomes.From September 2012,we began to provide Interprofessional Education Program for healthcare undergraduates,and achievements have already been made.
" Inquiry-small class” teaching mode is a novel teaching method aimed at cultivating the clinical capability and professionalism and promoting comprehensive development of medical students. Small-class teaching mode prioritize students and promotes deep interaction between teaching and learning. Therefore, integrating small class teaching into large class teaching is essential. This paper attempts to explore the applications and prospects of " Inquiry-small class” teaching mode in clinical medicine education through summarizing teaching concept and design, learning resources, exam reform, teacher-student interaction and other aspects of the course " endocrine and metabolic disease (bilingual)”, offered by West China School of Medicine in Sichuan University, so as to provide more reference for the future " Inquiry-small class” teaching reform.
