三套本科医学教育国际标准的比较

对由国际医学教育专门委员会(IIME)、世界卫生组织西太平洋地区办事处(WHO西太区)、世界医学教育联合会(WFME)等三个医学教育国际组织分别制定的在校医学教育的国际标准的目的、主要内容进行了简要比较。IIME“标准”包括7大领域60条标准,针对的是医学毕业生个体的基本能力,属于总结性个人评估。WHO西太区和WFME“标准”大体一致,包括医学院校教育的结构和过程的9大领域,针对医学院校,属于形成性评估。

Comparison Among Three International Standards in Basic Medical Education

The authors compared the purpose,and the main content of three international standards in medical education developed by the Institute for International Medical Education (IIME), World Health Organization Western Pacific Regional Office (WHO/WPRO), and World Federation for Medical Education (WFME) respectively. The IIME's standard is deferent from the others. The IIME's standard contains seven broad educational outcome domains and 60 items in the domains. The purpose of IIME's standard is to improve the common core competency of individual medical graduates of each medical school in the world, and the standard focuses the outcome of medical education and belongs to summative individual evaluation. The WHO/WPRO's and WFME's standards are quite similar. They define the standards across nine broad areas of medical schooling divided into 38 sub-areas. The ultimate goal of the WHO/WPRO's standard is to encourage national governments to adopt a quality assurance process in medical education. The aim of the two standards is to promote the quality assurance of medical schools. Both of the two standards focus the whole process of medical schooling and medical schools, and belong to formative evaluation.
