In 1999, the 4th report of the discussion group on 21st century medicine and health care proposed that it was necessary to establish in medical education a core curriculum emphasizing carefully selected basic content and to greatly expand the number of subjects that students might take electively. Following this report, a model core curriculum was made by the research and development project committee for medical educational programs in 2001. Similarly, the necessity of establishing a standardized postgraduate training curriculum and system has been discussed for many years. The Departments of Education and Technology and Welfare and Labor proposed a new curriculum named "Objectives in postgraduate clinical training" in order to ensure the quality of the medical doctors licensed to practice medicine in postgraduate clinical training in 2002. Following this new curriculum, Nihon University School of Medicine revised and enlarged its postgraduate program. All graduates are required to enter a full rotation program including general disciplines for two years. In addition to this basic curriculum, an elective curriculum will be added, providing attractive training programs based on medical trainees' needs. The training program in Laboratory Medicine is administered in the 2nd year as an elective program. 相似文献

From concept to culture: the WWAMI program at the University of Washington School of Medicine. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Shortages of primary care physicians have historically affected rural areas more severely than urban and suburban areas. In 1970, the University of Washington School of Medicine (UWSOM) administrators and faculty initiated a four-state, community-based program to increase the number of generalist physicians throughout a predominantly rural and underserved region in the U.S. Northwest. The program developed regional medical education for three neighboring states that lacked their own medical schools, and encouraged physicians in training to practice in the region. Now serving five Northwest states (Washington, Wyoming, Alaska, Montana, and Idaho), the WWAMI program has solidified and expanded throughout its 30-year history. Factors important to success include widespread participation in and ownership of the program by the participating physicians, faculty, institutions, legislatures, and associations; partnership among constituents; educational equivalency among training sites; and development of an educational continuum with recruitment and/or training at multiple levels, including K--12, undergraduate, graduate training, residency, and practice. The program's positive influences on the UWSOM have included historically early attention to primary care and community-based clinical training and development of an ethic of closely monitored innovation. The use of new information technologies promises to further expand the ability to organize and offer medical education in the WWAMI region. 相似文献

The University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC) School of Medicine is a public medical school that opened in 1971 in response to a need to train more physicians in Missouri. As a six-year, integrated, combined-degree program leading to the baccalaureate and medical degrees, the school offers an innovative, nontraditional approach to medical education. In the past 35 years, UMKC has graduated over 2,400 physicians who are successful according to outcomes measures used at other medical schools. With recent interest in reforming medical education to prepare physicians for a changing world, a review of alternative models may be especially instructive.UMKC's academic plan offers a blueprint for the curriculum plan and governance of the school. The plan is built on four hallmarks: (1) a combined baccalaureate/MD program, (2) early exposure to clinical medicine, (3) small-group learning through the docent system, and (4) a continuing ambulatory care clinic experience for four years.This article catalogs the results of this plan including student, faculty, and graduates' perceptions of and satisfaction with the school's educational approach, students' achievement on licensing examinations and in the residency match, graduates' performance in residency programs, and their subsequent career patterns. The authors also discuss lessons learned and adjustments made in response to local needs in the context of a changing environment in education, health care, and health care delivery while continually improving the school's nontraditional approach to medical education. These include changes in basic and clinical science instruction, student assessment, faculty development, and funding and governance. 相似文献

The Medical Education Scholars Program (MESP) at the University of Michigan Medical School is designed to develop leaders in medical education. The program's goals are to enable faculty to provide curriculum direction, improved teaching, educational research, and development, and institutional leadership at all levels of medical education. This one-year program uses a variety of educational methods and provides a broad curriculum in educational theory, assessment and evaluation, research design and methods, teaching-skills development, and educational leadership. Faculty are admitted on a competitive basis and one half-day per week of release time is funded as part of the program. Salient outcomes of the program (promotions, educational research and development, curriculum leadership, and educational scholarship) were measured in a pre- and post-program design in which each scholar acted as his or her own control. There were major increases in promotions and educational awards, new educational responsibilities, and new educational programs. A particularly important outcome was the emergence of educational scholarship in the professional portfolios of the program scholars in the form of peer-reviewed presentations and publications and educational grant funding. A cost-outcome analysis indicates that these multi-year outcomes were obtained from a one-time investment of approximately $21,000 per graduating scholar. This evaluation indicates that intensive faculty development programs can have measurable impacts on the careers of the participants and the institutional environment. 相似文献

With growing pressures to consolidate and reorganize health care delivery systems, graduate medical education (GME) consortia can draw faculty from affiliated members to assemble educational programs. The authors report on consortium-based research education seminars of a quality that many residency programs would be unable to develop and support on their own. Drawing a diverse faculty from consortium members and area universities, the OHEP Center for Medical Education's annual Research Workshop Series focuses on the design of research projects; data analysis and hypothesis testing; and written and oral presentation of scientific research. Each spring, OHEP sponsors a research forum in which the best research projects from consortium members are presented by the resident-researchers, who compete for recognition and prize money. Further, of the 128 presentations made thus far at the annual OHEP Research Forum, 25% were subsequently published. The consortium's research education program has been well received by residents, is cost-effective, and is an integral component of the research curricula of many area residency programs. Including research training in GME provides residents an opportunity to become more competitive for fellowship, faculty, and leadership positions. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: Good communication skills are essential for residents entering postgraduate education programs. However, these skills vary widely among medical school graduates. This pilot program was designed to create opportunities for (1) teaching essential interviewing and communication skills to trainees at the beginning of residency, (2) assessing resident skills and confidence with specific types of interview situations, (3) developing faculty teaching and assessment skills, (4) encouraging collegial interaction between faculty and new trainees, and (5) guiding residency curricular development. DESCRIPTION: During residency orientation, all first-year internal medicine residents (n = 26) at the University of Minnesota participated in the communication assessment and skill-building exercise (CASE). CASE consisted of four ten-minute stations in which residents demonstrated their communication skills in encounters with standardized patients (SPs) while faculty members observed for specific skills. Faculty and SPs were oriented to the educational purposes and goals of their stations, and received instructions on methods of providing feedback to residents. With each station, residents were provided one and a half minutes of direct feedback by the faculty observer and the SP. The residents were asked to deal with an angry family member, to counsel for smoking cessation, to set a patient-encounter agenda, and to deliver bad news. A resident's performance was analyzed for each station, and individual profiles were created. All residents and faculty completed evaluations of the exercise, assessing the benefits and areas for improvement. DISCUSSION: Evaluations and feedback from residents and faculty showed that most of our objectives were accomplished. Residents reported learning important skills, receiving valuable feedback, and increasing their confidence in dealing with certain types of stressful communication situations in residency. The activity was also perceived as an excellent way to meet and interact with faculty. Evaluators found the experience rewarding, an effective method for assessing and teaching clinical skills, a faculty development experience for themselves in learning about structured practical skills exercises, and a good way to meet new interns. The residency program director found individual resident performance profiles valuable for identifying learning issues and for guiding curricular development. Time constraints were the most frequently cited area for improvement. The exercise became feasible by collaborating with the medical school Office of Education-Educational Development and Research, whose mission is to collaborate with faculty across the continuum of medical education to improve the quality of instruction and evaluation. The residency program saved considerable time, effort, and expense by using portions of the medical school's existing student skills-assessment programs and by using chief residents and faculty as evaluators. We plan to use CASE next year with a wider variety of physician-patient scenarios for interns, and to expand the program to include beginning second- and third-year residents. Also, since this type of exercise creates powerful feedback and assessment opportunities for instructors and course directors, and because feedback was so favorable from evaluators, we will encourage participation in CASE as part of our faculty educational development program. 相似文献

The dual goals of the faculty Fellowship in Medical Education (MEF) program at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, established in 1992, are to prepare excellent teachers to serve as clerkship chairs, course chairs, or residency program directors while strengthening their dossiers for promotion based on a scholarly approach to curriculum development, implementation, and evaluation. Fellows are nominated from their departments and must demonstrate a strong interest in assuming educational leadership in their respective specialties. A total of eight fellows are accommodated each year based on interviews with the MEF faculty. The two-year program consists of two seminars and two projects focused on four objectives: to critique teaching and testing practices in medical education in light of current theories of learning; to develop and implement curricula that reflect these theories; to improve personal teaching skills through reflection and feedback; and to design and conduct an educational research or program evaluation study. An analysis of the curricula vitae of faculty members who have completed the fellowship suggest that this program continues to provide educational leaders for the school as originally intended. Of the 71 medical school faculty members who completed the MEF between 1993 and 2004 and have remained at the university, 43 (61%) have assumed new leadership roles in medical education. The evaluation data strongly suggest that the MEF has had a major role since its inception in creating a pool of faculty members with the confidence to manage the tasks of educational planning and implementation. 相似文献

In light of the many changes that have been made in medical gross anatomy instruction, an attempt was made to determine the adequacy of medical student preparation in gross anatomy upon arrival at a postgraduate residency program and whether the adequacy of preparation had changed in the last 10 years. To address these questions, a survey was mailed to all of the programs in four postgraduate residencies in the United States. This survey requested information about the importance of gross anatomy to the discipline, the adequacy of resident preparation, how today's residents compare to those of 10 years ago, and in what areas they are deficient. Another survey was mailed to all medical school anatomy departments to follow changes in curriculum, teaching methods, curriculum hours, and staffing in gross anatomy. Overall, of the surveys mailed, 79% were returned, 78% from the residency programs, and 81% from the anatomy departments. A majority of the residency programs report that gross anatomy is either extremely important or very important to mastery of their discipline and rank it as the most important basic science. Overall, 57% of the residency program directors felt that residents need a refresher in gross anatomy upon arrival, 29% felt that they were adequately prepared, whereas 14% felt they were seriously lacking. Fifty‐six percent of the residency programs indicated that the residents are as prepared as those of 10 years ago, 41% indicated that they are less prepared, and only 4% said that they were better prepared. There were significant differences in the responses between the different residency programs. The residency programs indicated that residents need to arrive more proficient in clinical applications, general knowledge, and cross‐sectional applications. Anatomy departments continue to modify their curriculum and teaching methods, decrease the curriculum hours and faculty devoted to gross anatomy, and foresee problems obtaining qualified gross anatomy teachers in the future.

One hundred nine general physicians practicing in small rural communities completed questionnaires regarding the number of patients they saw with psychiatric problems. Respondents were also asked to give details of their psychiatric and medical training, to indicate where they obtained new information about psychiatric topics, and to rate the importance of 36 items in daily medical practice. Over one half felt their medical school training in psychiatry was not on par with that received in internal medicine, OB-GYN, surgery, and pediatrics. We suggest the 36 items they ranked be used as a guide in developing a core curriculum for family practice residency training programs as well as for the design of continuing medical education for general physicians. 相似文献

The Integrative Family Medicine (IFM) Program is a four-year combined family medicine residency program and integrative medicine fellowship. It was created in 2003 to address the needs of four constituencies: patients who desire care from well trained integrative physicians, physicians who seek such training, the health care system which lacks a conventional integrative medicine training route, and educational leaders in family medicine who are seeking new strategies to reverse the declining interest in family medicine amongst U.S. graduates. The program was designed jointly by the University of Arizona Program in Integrative Medicine (PIM) and family medicine residency programs at Beth Israel/Albert Einstein College of Medicine (AECOM), Maine Medical Center, Middlesex Hospital, Oregon Health & Science University, and the Universities of Arizona and Wisconsin. One or two residents from each of these institutions may apply, and when selected, commit to extending their training by a fourth year. They complete their family medicine residencies at their home sites, enroll in the distributed learning associate fellowship at PIM, and are mentored by local faculty members who have training in integrative medicine. To date three classes totaling twenty residents have entered the program. Evaluation is performed jointly: PIM evaluates the residents during residential weeks and through online modules and residency faculty members perform direct observation of care and review treatment plans. Preliminary data suggest that the program enhances interest amongst graduating medical students in family medicine training. The Accreditation Council of Graduate Medical Education Family Medicine residency review committee has awarded the pilot experimental status. 相似文献

Many medical schools and primary care residencies provide little formal instruction in musculoskeletal examination skills. Physical therapists are well qualified by knowledge and experience to teach these skills to students and residents. The authors present educational objectives that have been utilized since May 1988 in the physical therapy teaching portion of a sports medicine rotation in a family practice residency, and they describe the educational and consultative roles of a physical therapist in the residency. The therapist demonstrated the portion of the musculoskeletal examination that is important for the differentiation of contractile and inert tissue involvement, and she reviewed problems unique to athletes. The therapist's presence exposed students, residents, and faculty to the appropriate use of physical therapists as consultants and clinicians. 相似文献

Because of numerous criticisms of the content and structure of residency training, redesigning graduate medical education (GME) has become a high priority for the internal medicine community. From 2005 to 2007, the leadership of the internal medicine community, working under the auspices of the Alliance for Academic Internal Medicine Education Redesign Task Force, developed six recommendations it will pursue to improve residency education: (1) focus education around a "core" of internal medicine, which provides the framework for both the structure and content of residents' educational experiences, (2) fully adopt competency-based evaluation and advancement, which will enhance training by focusing on individual learners' needs, (3) allow for increased, resident-centered education beyond the internal medicine core, because different types of practice require customized knowledge and skills, (4) improve ambulatory training by providing patient-centered longitudinal care that addresses the conflict between inpatient and outpatient responsibilities, (5) use new faculty models that emphasize the creation of a core faculty, and (6) align institutional and programmatic resources with the goals of redesign, balancing the clinical mission of the institution with the educational goals of residency training.Adoption of these recommendations will require significant efforts, including pilot projects, faculty development, changes in accreditation requirements, and modifications of GME funding systems. Opportunities are ample for individual programs to develop creative approaches based on the framework for educational redesign outlined in this article, and for these educational and clinical redesign initiatives to work hand-in-hand for the benefit of patients, faculty, trainees, and institutions. 相似文献

PURPOSE: To demonstrate the usefulness of self-reported cost-accounting data from the sponsors of training programs for estimating the direct costs of graduate medical education (GME). The study also assesses the relative contributions of resident, faculty, and administrative costs to primary care, surgery, and the combined programs of radiology, emergency medicine, anesthesiology, and pathology (REAP). METHOD: The data were the FY97 direct costs of clinical education reported to Minnesota's Department of Health by eight sponsors of 117 accredited medical education programs, representing 394 sites of training (both hospital- and community-based) and 2,084 full-time-equivalent trainees (both residents and fellows). Average costs of clinical training were calculated as residency, faculty, and administrative costs. Preliminary analysis showed average costs by type of training programs, comparing the cost components for surgery, primary care, and REAP. RESULTS: The average direct cost of clinical training in FY97 was $130,843. Faculty costs were 52%, resident costs were 26%, and administrative costs were 20% of the total. Primary care programs' average costs were lower than were those of either surgery or REAP programs, but proportionally they included more administrative costs. CONCLUSIONS: As policymakers assess government subsidies for GME, more detailed cost information will be required. Self-reported data are more cost-effective and efficient than are the more detailed and costly time-and-motion studies. This data-collection study also revealed that faculty costs, driven by faculty hours and base salaries, represent a higher proportion of direct costs of GME than studies have shown in the past. 相似文献

The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) is requiring that all medical specialties adopt a new paradigm for residency education: competency-based residency education. Competency-based education includes not only the acquisition of knowledge and the demonstration of safe medical practice, but also competency in practice-based learning, practice improvement, interpersonal skills and communication, professionalism, and an awareness of pathology's role in a larger health care system. Implementation of this new training program will require new educational resources and the implementation of new faculty and resident skills and incentives. 相似文献

Though few question the importance of incorporating professionalism and humanism in the training of physicians, traditional residency programs have given little direct attention to the processes by which professional and humanistic values, attitudes, and behaviors are cultivated. The authors discuss the underlying philosophy of their primary care internal medicine residency program, in which the development of professionalism and humanism is an explicit educational goal. They also describe the specific components of the program designed to create a learner-centered environment that supports the acquisition of professional values; these components include a communication-skills training program, challenging-case conferences, home visits with patients, a resident support group, and a mentoring program. The successful ten-year history of the program shows how a residency program can enable its trainees to develop not only the requisite excellent diagnostic and technical tools and skills but also the humane and professional attributes of the fully competent physician. 相似文献

A growing number of older adults coupled with a limited number of physicians trained in geriatrics presents a major challenge to ensuring quality medical care for this population. Innovations to incorporate geriatrics education into internal medicine residency programs are needed. To meet this need, in 2009, faculty at the Medical University of South Carolina developed Aging Q(3)-Quality Education, Quality Care, and Quality of Life. This multicomponent initiative recognizes the need for improved geriatrics educational tools and faculty development as well as systems changes to improve the knowledge and clinical performance of residents. To achieve these goals, faculty employ multiple intervention strategies, including lectures, rounds, academic detailing, visual cues, and electronic medical record prompts and decision support. The authors present examples from specific projects, based on care areas including vision screening, fall prevention, and caring for patients with dementia, all of which are based on the Assessing Care of Vulnerable Elders quality indicators. The authors describe the principles driving the design, implementation, and evaluation of the Aging Q(3) program. They present data from multiple sources that illustrate the effectiveness of the interventions to meet the knowledge, skill level, and behavior goals. The authors also address major challenges, including the maintenance of the teaching and modeling interventions over time within the context of demanding primary care and inpatient settings. This organized, evidence-based approach to quality improvement in resident education, as well as faculty leadership development, holds promise for successfully incorporating geriatrics education into internal medicine residencies. 相似文献
