Purpose: The authors presented their results in effectively using a free and widely-accessible online app platform to manage and teach a first-year pathology course at Mayo Medical School.Methods used: The authors utilized the Google “Blogger”, “Forms”, “Flubaroo”, “Sheets”, “Docs”, and “Slides” apps to effectively build a collaborative classroom teaching and management system. Students were surveyed on the use of the app platform in the classroom, and 44 (94%) students responded.Results: Thirty-two (73%) of the students reported that “Blogger” was an effective place for online discussion of pathology topics and questions. 43 (98%) of the students reported that the “Forms/Flubaroo” grade-reporting system was helpful. 40 (91%) of the students used the remote, collaborative features of “Slides” to create team-based learning presentations, and 39 (89%) of the students found those collaborative features helpful. “Docs” helped teaching assistants to collaboratively create study guides or grading rubrics. Overall, 41 (93%) of the students found that the app platform was helpful in establishing a collaborative, online classroom environment.Conclusions: The online app platform allowed faculty to build an efficient and effective classroom teaching and management system. The ease of accessibility and opportunity for collaboration allowed for collaborative learning, grading, and teaching. 相似文献

Background: Many medical schools have developed admission policies and clinical training programs designed to address the rural physician workforce shortages in their state.Aim: To enhance medical student rural clinical training experiences, and assist in preparing students for living and working in rural communities.Methods: As part of their Rural Track Clerkship (RTC) Program, the University of Missouri School of Medicine developed the Community Integration Program (CIP). Students, individually or in groups, voluntarily identify a health need and implement a community-based project to meet that need.Results: From 2007 to 2013, 80 (53%) students participated in the CIP and 86% completed the 11-item post-experience questionnaire. After the experience, participants reported a deeper understanding of the broad impact of a rural physician and the impact of rural culture on physician interactions. Participants reported they felt more integrated into the community, had a greater understanding of community health needs and resources, and were more likely to participate in future community service activities.Conclusions: The CIP exposes students to rural culture and helps them understand community health needs. Replication of this program can increase student interest in rural medicine and better prepare students for rural practice. 相似文献

Background: When modifying a curriculum to accommodate changes in the methods of subject matter presentation or fit within a shortened time frame, student retention of knowledge remains an important issue.Aim: This study evaluates medical student retention of anatomical knowledge as they matriculate through an anatomy curriculum where the instruction hours are less than half of the current national average.Method: Medical students completed an assessment tool developed to evaluate their baseline level of anatomical knowledge at the beginning of the first year. They then completed the instrument at the end of their 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th years to assess their retention of anatomical knowledge during medical school. Data collection began in September 2010 and concluded in June 2015.Results: Results demonstrate that students began medical school with a low level of anatomical knowledge (baseline), that knowledge increased during their first year (p?<?0.001), continued to increase during their second year (p?<?0.001), but was over 90% maintained through years 3 and 4.Conclusion: In conclusion, an anatomy course with reduced hours (~60), using active learning methods, contextual learning, cadaver demonstrations, increased exposure to imaging, and longitudinal reinforcement can help students build a strong foundation of anatomical knowledge. 相似文献

Effective methods for teaching patient-centred interviewing skills are resource intensive. Providing students the opportunity to work in small groups with simulated patients is highly valued and has demonstrable long-term benefits. Expanding cohorts of medical students and diminishing faculty resources led to the implementation of a peer assisted learning (PAL) project in patient-centred interviewing skills. The paper reports the evaluation of a PAL project on student tutors. The methodology included direct and indirect measures of student tutors' skills in facilitation and patient-centred interviewing. The self-report evaluations strongly suggest that participating in a PAL project has substantial benefits for student tutors that included both interviewing and facilitation skills. Objective measures revealed no change in patient-centred interviewing skills after participating in the project. The study concludes that formalizing PAL may tap a valuable resource within the medical school and provide benefits for student tutors. Careful consideration needs to be given to ways in which student tutors are supported before, during and after the project. 相似文献

The use of student peer tutors is an attractive and affordable alternative in a problem-based programme. Previous literature has focused on comparing the academic performance of faculty-tutored and student-tutored groups. This study used qualitative methods to examine a peer-tutoring model from the perspective of the student tutor. Students in the final semester of a two-year accelerated physiotherapy programme kept a reflective journal outlining their experiences in facilitating a group of peers from the same class. Content analysis of 56 journals indicated that the students struggled with basic facilitation skills and had difficulty separating the role of student from that of tutor. Students also developed strategies to allow them to succeed, were able to evaluate their performance in a positive light and appeared to value their tutoring experience. 相似文献

AbstractRationale: Recent advances in the learning sciences offer remarkable potential for improving medical learning and performance. Difficult to teach pattern recognition skills can be systematically accelerated using techniques of perceptual learning (PL). The effectiveness of PL interventions is amplified when they are combined with adaptive learning (AL) technology in perceptual–adaptive learning modules (PALMs).Innovation: Specifically, PALMs incorporate the Adaptive Response Time-based Sequencing (ARTS) system, which leverages learner performance (accuracy and speed) in interactive learning episodes to guide the course of factual, perceptual, or procedural learning, optimize spacing, and lead learners to comprehensive mastery. Here we describe elements and scientific foundations of PL and its embodiment in learning technology. We also consider evidence that AL systems utilizing both accuracy and speed enhance learning efficiency and provide a unified account and potential optimization of spacing effects in learning, as well as supporting accuracy, transfer, and fluency as goals of learning.Results: To illustrate this process, we review some results of earlier PALMs and present new data from a PALM designed to accelerate and improve diagnosis in electrocardiography.Conclusions: Through relatively short training interventions, PALMs produce large and durable improvements in trainees’ abilities to accurately and fluently interpret clinical signs and tests, helping to bridge the gap between novice and expert clinicians. 相似文献

Poorly designed healthcare systems increase costs and preventable medical errors. To address these issues, systems-based practice (SBP) education provides future physicians with the tools to identify systemic errors and implement quality improvement (QI) initiatives to enhance the delivery of cost-effective, safe and multi-disciplinary care. Although SBP education is being implemented in residency programs and is mandated by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) as one of its core competencies, it has largely not been integrated into undergraduate medical education. We propose that Medical Student–Faculty Collaborative Clinics (MSFCCs) may be the ideal environment in which to train medical students in SBPs and QI initiatives, as they allow students to play pivotal roles in project development, administration, and management. Here we describe a process of experiential learning that was developed within a newly established MSFCC, which challenged students to identify inefficiencies, implement interventions, and track the results. After identifying bottlenecks in clinic operations, our students designed a patient visit tracker tool to monitor clinic flow and implemented solutions to decrease patient visit times. Our model allowed students to drive their own active learning in a practical clinical setting, providing early and unique training in crucial QI skills. 相似文献

The authors describe a longitudinal third- and fourth-year elective, 'The Art of Doctoring', introduced in an attempt to counteract perceived frustration and cynicism in medical students at their home institution during the clinical years. The course goals aimed at helping students to develop self-reflective skills; improve awareness of and ability to modify personal attitudes and behaviors that compromise patient care; increase altruism, empathy and compassion toward patients; and sustain commitment to patient care, service and personal well-being. These goals were accomplished through introduction and development of five skill sets: learning from role models and peers; on-site readings of works by medical student- and physician-authors; self- and other-observation; self-reflective techniques; and case-based problem-solving. The course involved regular in-class exercises and homework assignments, as well as a personal project related to improving personal compassion, caring and empathy toward patients. Students also learned to use a coping algorithm to approach problematic clinical and interpersonal situations. Class discussions revealed three issues of recurring importance to students: loss of idealism, non-compliant patients, and indifferent, harsh or otherwise unpleasant attendings and residents. Quantitative and qualitative student evaluations overall indicated a generally favorable response to the course. Problems and barriers included attendance difficulties and variable levels of student engagement. Future directions for this type of educational intervention are considered, as well as its implications for medical education. 相似文献
