We summarize the primary structure, objective and achievements of the resident standard training program in West China Hospital of Sichuan University during the past decade. We also give some advices on how to develop and accomplish future goals of resident standard training.
Objective To provide scientific evidence for the establishment of medical specialist system in China by analyzing the current situation and problems, putting forward solution thoughts and countermeasures, from the angle of medical education system, residency training program and licensed physician management. Method Principle and method of evidence-based medicine were adopted. Retrospective investigation was conducted to gain information from 1996 to 2002 about enrollment and running form of medical education, current situation of residency and specialist training. Data was then extracted and analyzed for the benefit of corresponding countermeasures. Results By the end of 2001, there were totally 1 640 thousand physicians in China. The enrollment proportion of undergraduate and junior college student steadily increased from 1996 to 2002, while the situation quite the reverse as for medical secondary school. More than 300 thousand have taken part in the licensure exam, among whom less than 15% had university diploma. About 52 000 doctors have already completed the residency training program, and 65 700 are being trained. Standardized system of specialist training and admittance is not available in China. Conclusions It was three main tough problems that mainly account for the poor quality of doctor as a whole in China, which include diversity of educational system, insufficient software and hardware of residency training program, and absence of specialist training system. An allied funded program of "research on medical specialist training and admittance" has been on the way, and research outcomes will be published soon.
Within the context of the "Healthy China Strategy" and the "Biology-Psychology-Society" medical model, the goals, content and methods of medical education have undergone tremendous changes. To keep up with the pace of development of medical technology and medical concepts, medical education requires major reforms, and medical teaching models requires reconstruction. Based on previous investigations and discussions and considering the West China medical education as an example, this paper summarizes the difficulties that will be faced in the transformation and reform of modern medical education and discusses and analyzes the future direction of medical education reform.
Objective To systematically analyze and compare the research literature of thoracic surgery simulation-based medical education (SBME) at home and abroad, and provide ideas for the future development of thoracic surgery SBME in China. Methods Using word frequency analysis and cluster analysis as analysis methods, CiteSpace visualization software and Excel statistical software as tools, the domestic and foreign SBME literature retrieved from PubMed and CNKI databases were visualized and statistically analyzed respectively. Results A total of 2 491 domestic and foreign literature on SBME in thoracic surgery were included. The annual number of foreign publications showed an increasing trend. The top three countries in terms of number of publications were the USA (n=581), Canada (n=105) and Germany (n=57); "cardiac surgery", "medical knowledge medical knowledge" and "medical education" are the hotspots of research in the direction of thoracic surgery simulation, while "lung cancer", "surgical training" and "3D printing" were still in the process of explosion. The core research themes were endoscope simulation trainer, scenario-based simulation teaching methods, standardized patients and virtual reality models. Conclusion Domestic SBME in thoracic surgery should learn from foreign development experience, keep up with the frontier and integrate cutting-edge technology, innovate the curriculum and offer non-technical skills teaching, and improve the system and focus on software construction.
With the post-disaster psychological crisis has aroused wide attention, psychological first aid which can relieve psychological trauma and prevent post-traumatic disorder has been valued by many countries. However, mainly domestic psychological first aid training is simply theoretical training while its popularizing rate is low, it is urgent to learn from international experience to carry out more effective psychological first aid training. In the context of combination of medicine and industry, the paper majorly embodied virtual simulation’s potential in improving psychological intervention ability, deep learning level and self-efficacy. Furthermore, the paper analyzed and illustrated theoretical basis and function module of constructing psychological first aid training platform in detail, and prospected further improvement, which laid foundations for follow-up studies.
ObjectiveTo carry out health education to day surgery patients, assist the smoothness of their operation, promote early recovery of patients and improve the quality of nursing and patients' degree of satisfaction. MethodsA total of 1 888 operations from January to May, 2013 were chosen to be the control group; and 2 136 operations from January to May, 2014 were regarded as the trail group. Patients in the control group accepted routine nursing and health education, while patients in the trail group accepted health education before and after surgery, and through telephone during the follow-up period. ResultsThe rate of failure to keep the appointment, the readmission rates, and the satisfaction rate to the nursing work were 0.28%, 0.94% and 94.71% respectively in the trial group, while were 3.50%, 3.07%, and 90.20%, respectively in the control group. the differeces between the two groups were significant (P<0.05). ConclusionPersonalized health education can ensure the smooth operation of day surgery, advance wound healing of the patients, and improve the day surgery ward care quality and patient satisfaction.
Taking the actual situation of the undergraduate medical education in West China School of Medicine, Sichuan University as the real-world reference, combining with literature review, this article analyzes the internal strengths and weaknesses, as well as the external opportunities and threats of the novel teaching system in medical education which combines the online-merge-offline (OMO) approach with inquiry-small class model, and provides deep insights into the opportunities and challenges of the teaching system after matching the influential factors based on the SWOT-CLPV matrix model. Based on these analyses, this article discusses the application of the teaching system combining the OMO approach with inquiry-small class model in medical education in the post-epidemic era, so as to provide a reference and guidance for further popularizing the teaching model and enhancing the quality of medical education to a new level.
The teaching team of the Department of Laboratory Medicine, West China School of Medicine, Sichuan University takes scientific spirit, craftsmanship spirit, and medical humanities spirit as the goal, combines the core knowledge of clinical microbiology laboratory technology course with cases of coronavirus disease 2019 prevention and control, drug resistance monitoring, and scientists’ deeds, and adopts strategies such as hot debate and special report to achieve the integration of knowledge and value. The actual effectiveness of this model has been verified through the assessment of students’ abilities and values. This article introduces the course-based ideological and political education construction mentioned above, aiming to explore the integration path of course-based ideological and political education in the clinical microbiology laboratory technology, and construct a new teaching model that combines professional competence and value guidance.
The development of the fifth generation mobile networks (5G) technology has brought great breakthroughs and challenges to clinical medicine and medical education. In the context of “5G + medicine”, the development of telemedicine, emergency rescue, intelligent analysis and diagnosis has opened up new horizons for clinical medicine. Facing the constant impact of high technology, the focus of medical education should be on the cultivation of students’ integrated medical view, critical thinking, communication abilities and skills, and creativity. The “5G + education” model will be presented by means of virtual reality, artificial intelligence, cloud computing and other technologies, providing a new direction for the development of medical education. This article summarizes the key points and prospects of medical education under 5G technology in order to provide a reference for the field of medical education to adapt to the changes in the 5G era.
