Abstract:
Background The competency-based undergraduate medical curriculum has a number of new elements. Few authors have attempted to understand the students\' viewpoints on the curriculum. We assessed undergraduate students perspectives and ratings about various elements after 2 years of implementation of the curriculum. Methods We included 240 students (2019 and 2020 admission). An invitation letter-cum-information sheet was sent to all the students by email informing them about the study, keeping their identity confidential and the implied consent. A validated questionnaire based on a 5-point Likert scale including 35 closed-ended questions eliciting the students\' perception on various elements of the new curriculum and a rating scale from 1 to 5 was designed. Data collection was done using Google forms. Results Of the 240 respondents, 192 (80%) had positive perceptions for the Foundation Course, Attitude, Ethics and Communication skills, Early Clinical Exposure and Community Health Visits. Integrated Teaching, Small Group Teaching and Assessments were viewed less positively (62.9%-75%) and Self-directed Learning received the lowest positive responses (57%-58%). For training as a doctor, the elements considered most valuable were Early Clinical Exposure (70.4%) and Community Health Visits (70.4%) while the least were Logbooks (35.5%) and Reflections (34.2%). Conclusions Students found Early Clinical Exposure and Community Health Visits the most valuable elements whereas Self-directed Learning, Logbooks and Reflections were rated as the least useful.
摘要:
背景以能力为基础的本科医学课程具有许多新的元素。很少有作者试图了解学生对课程的看法。在实施课程2年后,我们评估了本科生对各种要素的看法和评分。方法我们纳入240名学生(2019年和2020年入学)。通过电子邮件向所有学生发送了邀请函和信息表,通知他们有关学习的信息,保持他们的身份保密和默示同意。设计了基于5点Likert量表的经过验证的问卷,其中包括35个封闭式问题,激发了学生对新课程各个要素的看法,并设计了1至5的评分量表。数据收集是使用Google表单完成的。结果在240名受访者中,192(80%)对基础课程有积极的看法,态度,道德和沟通技巧,早期临床暴露和社区卫生访问。一体化教学,小组教学和评估被认为不太积极(62.9%-75%),而自我导向学习收到的积极回应最低(57%-58%)。作为医生的培训,被认为最有价值的元素是早期临床暴露(70.4%)和社区卫生访视(70.4%),而最少的是日志(35.5%)和反思(34.2%).结论学生发现早期临床暴露和社区健康访问是最有价值的元素,而自我导向学习,日志和反思被评为最不有用的。
