Medicine Education

Although the demand for general physicians has increased in Japan because of its aging population, medical universities primarily provide organ-based education; thus, medical students do not receive sufficient general medical education. The number of residents focusing on general medicine remains low; therefore, to understand the present situation regarding general medicine education, we attempted to clarify the views of medical students and the factors influencing them. In this qualitative study, semi-structured interviews were conducted in 12 medical students at Shimane University, and the results were analyzed through thematic analysis. The results indicated the emergence of three themes and 14 concepts. The three overarching themes were as follows: hopes for the field of general medicine, gaps between ideal and reality of general medicine, and factors affecting students’ motivation for specialization in general medicine. Medical students had a positive impression of general medicine and believed that it has potential for further development; however, they felt a gap between their ideals and reality (i.e., unclear expertise). Factors creating this gap included poorly developed education and medical policies. We need to restructure general medicine education based on the participants’ perceptions by establishing collaborative curricula between universities and community hospitals and by increasing students’ exposure to general medicine.

Abstract Background: WeChat and micro-courses have become important tools for improving medical education. However, most research just focused on one of them, and investigations about “WeChat + micro-courses” teaching mode were still lacking. Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate medical students’ use of WeChat and micro-courses and to analyze the possibility of “WeChat + micro-courses” teaching mode.Methods: This investigation was conducted among 534 full-time undergraduates in Nanjing Medical University. A self-reported questionnaire was adopted to collect data. Data were entered and checked with EpiData 3.0 and were analyzed with STATA 13.Results: 534 participants successfully completed the questionnaires. Most students in all specialties used WeChat. More students in preventive medicine subscribed to OAs related to other majors (χ2 = 28.49, P < 0.01). In three majors, almost 80% of students spent less than 10 minutes or 10-30 minutes browsing OA articles every day. As for micro-courses, using frequency in biostatistics was significantly higher than that in preventive medicine and hygienic analysis and detection (χ2 = 16.68, P < 0.01). Plenty of students complained about the lack of interactions while learning with micro-courses.Conclusions: It was promising to apply “WeChat + micro-courses” mode in medical education.

Physician Competency

Physicians are uniquely positioned to stem the tide of the world’s top lifestyle-related diseases; however, most are not trained to provide effective patient care. The Lifestyle Medicine Education Collaborative (LMEd) has a plan that is a comprehensive and sustainable approach to policies, programs, and initiatives to increase graduating US medical students’ knowledge and application of lifestyle medicine. LMEd’s strategic plan is to (1) provide high-quality curricular material; (2) solicit support of medical school deans, critical administration, and faculty; (3) influence federal and state policy; (4) develop and conduct assessment; and (5) support medical students as lifestyle medicine champions. Accomplishments to date include (1) collaboration with Association of American Medical Colleges’ MedEdPORTAL for the curation of a LM Collection; (2) creation of a network of >350 members, 80 medical schools including 33 hospitals/clinics; 1:1 mentoring sessions >70 medical school faculty/administration; and (4) establishment of a relationship with the National Board of Medical Examiner’s Customized Assessment Services to create a subject test in lifestyle medicine. National awareness is being increased through webinars and hosting the first-annual LMEd Summit in October 2016. LMEd strives to alter the health care landscape by enhancing physician competency in lifestyle-related disease and value-based care and affecting the health of populations.
