Objective A major challenge for medical schools is the provision of clinical skills training for increasing student numbers. This case study describes the expansion of the clinical school network at The University of Queensland (UQ). The purpose of the study was to investigate consistency in medical education standards across a regional clinical teaching network, as measured by academic performance. Methods A retrospective analysis of academic records for UQ medical students (n = 1514) completing clinical rotations (2009–2012) was performed using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) for comparisons between clinical school cohorts and linear mixed-effects modelling (LEM) to assess predictors of academic performance. Results In all, 13 036 individual clinical rotations were completed between 2009 and 2012. ANCOVA found no significant differences in rotation grades between the clinical schools except that Rural Clinical School (RCS) cohorts achieved marginally higher results than non-RCSs in the general practice rotation (5.22 vs 5.10–5.18; P = 0.03) and on the final clinical examination (objective structured clinical examination; 5.27 vs 5.01–5.09; P < 0.01). LEM indicated that the strongest predictor of academic performance on clinical rotations was academic performance in the preclinical years of medical school (β = 0.38; 95% confidence interval 0.35–0.41; P < 0.001). Conclusions The decentralised UQ clinical schools deliver a consistent standard of clinical training for medical students in all core clinical rotations across a range of urban, regional and rural clinical settings. Further research is required to monitor the costs versus benefits of regionalised clinical schools for students, local communities and regional healthcare services. What is known about the topic? To help meet the demand of increasing numbers of students, Australian medical schools locate clinical training outside the traditional tertiary hospitals. However the viability of maintaining teaching standards across regional and rural locations is uncertain. What does this paper add? Maintaining teaching standards outside established urban teaching hospitals and across a diverse range of urban, regional and rural clinical settings is viable. What are the implications for practitioners? Decentralised clinical teaching networks provide consistent quality of clinical placements while diversifying exposure to different patient populations and clinical environments. These important outcomes may not only alleviate the strain on clinical teaching resources, but also help address the maldistribution of doctors in Australia.

Microscopic Diagnosis

The broadest application of transmission electron microscopy (EM) in diagnostic medicine is the identification of tumors that cannot be classified by routine light microscopy. EM is useful in the evaluation of approximately 10% of human neoplasms, but the extent of its contribution varies considerably. It may provide a specific diagnosis that can not be reached by other means, but in contrast, the information obtained from ultrastructural study of some 10% of tumors does not significantly add to that available from light microscopy. Most cases fall somewhere between these two extremes: EM may correct a light microscopic diagnosis, or serve to narrow a differential diagnosis by excluding some of the possibilities considered by light microscopy. It is particularly important to correlate the EM findings with data from light microscopy, clinical examination, and other diagnostic procedures.

Summary: My comment is basically restricted to the situation in which less-able students find themselves and refers only to literature in German. From this point of view I am basically able to confirm Marsh's results. It must, however, be said that with less-able pupils the opposite effect can be found: Levels of self-esteem in these pupils are raised, at least temporarily, by separate instruction, academic performance however drops; combined instruction, on the other hand, leads to improved academic performance, while levels of self-esteem drop. Apparently, the positive self-image of less-able pupils who receive separate instruction does not bring about the potential enhancement of academic performance one might expect from high-ability pupils receiving separate instruction. To resolve the dilemma, it is proposed that individual progress in learning be accentuated, and that comparisons with others be dispensed with. This fosters a self-image that can in equal measure be realistic and optimistic.

Objective Structured Clinical Examination

Zusammenfassung. Hintergrund: Aufgrund der demografischen und epidemiologischen Entwicklung wird die Vermittlung adäquater pflegerischer Kompetenzen in der pflegerischen Ausbildung zunehmend diskutiert. Kompetenzen sind in den Examina angemessen zu überprüfen. Hierfür haben sich international OSCEs bewährt. Ziel: Ziel der vorliegenden Analyse war die Ermittlung von Kompetenzen, die in pflegerischen Erstausbildungen mit OSCEs überprüft werden. Methodik: In internationalen Datenbanken wurden einschlägige Publikationen recherchiert. Analyse-Einschlusskriterium war die Nennung mindestens einer überprüften Kompetenz. Die Kompetenzen wurden – in Anlehnung an den «Fachqualifikationsrahmen Pflege für die hochschulische Bildung» – nach Wissen, Fertigkeiten und Haltung kategorisiert. Ergebnisse: 36 Artikel erfüllten das Einschlusskriterium. Relevante Studien stammen mehrheitlich aus Großbritannien (UK), Kanada und Australien. Es wurden insgesamt n = 166 Kompetenzen in allen Kategorien identifiziert, die anhand verschiedener Methoden gemessen wurden. Am häufigsten wurden Fertigkeiten überprüft. Dabei wurde der sichere Umgang mit Medikamenten am häufigsten thematisiert. Weitere wichtige Themen waren die Kommunikationskompetenz in Bezug auf PatientInnen und die Fähigkeit zur Selbsteinschätzung. Diskussion: Es werden sehr unterschiedliche Kompetenzen mit differenten Formaten per OSCE gemessen. OSCE ermöglichen eine Überprüfung sowohl auf individueller als auch institutioneller Ebene, also sowohl für die Lehre als auch das Gelernte. Weiterer Forschungsbedarf wird festgestellt.
