10528 Background: Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide and the demand for oncologist and palliative care specialists is increasing dramatically. Two years ago, The Universidad de Panama incorporated Oncology in the curriculum in order to face the shortage of professionals involved in cancer care. Little information is available concerning young medical students desire to pursue a career in oncology.The aim of this study is to evalute medical students perception about Oncology as a specialization field. Methods: An electronic survey was sent to medical students from Universidad de Panama after finishing Oncology rotation the last 2 years. Chi square and Mann Whitney U tests were used to compare variables. Results: 145 questionnaries were responded (40%). 60% female and 40% male. Median age was 25 years old. Clinical rotation during Oncology practices were: 37% in Medical Oncology, 24% in Surgical Oncology, 21% in Radiation Oncology and 18% in Palliative Care. 20% (29) of students are highly motivated to pursue a career in Oncology. 8 in Radiation Oncology. 8 in Surgical Oncology, 8 in Medical Oncology and 5 in Palliative Care. Variable associated with a oncology preference were: male gender (p=0.007), lack of human resources (p=0.009), contact with patients and family (p=0.005), good experience with mentor (p=0.002), nature and complexity of disease (p<0.001). Potential emotional burden was negatively asssociated (p=0.004) with oncology preference. 66% of students acknowledged that clinical rotation changed positively their perception about cancer patient care and a third of students haved not rule out the possibility to choose Oncology in the near future. Conclusions: Early exposition to medical student to cancer care might help to reduce the global shortage of oncologist and palliative specialists.

Introduction. Nasal carriage of methicillin-resistantStaphylococcus aureus(MRSA) represents a risk for the spread of bacteria. This study characterized theS. aureusisolated from medical students, who were in their clinical rotation at a hospital in the city of Cali.Materials and Methods. 216 students participated in the study and 63 isolates ofS. aureuswere evaluated for susceptibility and PCR amplification ofagrandmecA genes. The origin of MRSA isolates was established by analyzingagrpolymorphisms.Results. A total of 29.2% of students were colonized byS. aureusand nasal carriage rate was 23.6% and 14.3% MRSA. Threeagrgroups (agrII, andagrIII) were identified; theagrI group was the most common, with a 35% prevalence; this group is from community origin.Conclusion. The present study demonstrates that medical students carryS. aureusstrains, with the threat of spreading them both to community and hospital environments.

Introduction: During psychiatry, clinical rotation, nursing, and medical students care for mentally ill patients who have abnormal thoughts, behaviors, perceptions, and relationships with others is very important. This makes patient care on the psychiatric ward very special and the attitudes towards patient care on the ward very key to providing quality care. Study purpose: This study sought to explore the attitudes of nursing and medical students towards patient care in the psychiatric ward during clinical rotation. Methodology: A qualitative descriptive design was employed. The study involved 9 fourth-year nursing students and 4 fifth and 2 fourth-year medical students who were selected by purposive sampling. Data were collected using face-to-face semi-structured in-depth interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis. Results: Three themes emerged from 12 categories describing attitudes of nursing and medical students towards patient care on the psychiatric ward during clinical rotation. The emergent themes were positive attitudes, negative attitudes, and uncertainty of attitudes. Conclusion: In conclusion, these qualitative findings suggest that nursing and medical students held both positive and negative attitudes towards patient care on the psychiatric ward during clinical rotation. In some participants the attitudes were uncertain.

Background: A good proportion of medical students and house officers will consider specialization in different aspects of medicine following graduation. However, there are still individuals who at this stage are undecided both in the question of specialization as well as on what area to pursue a career in. In a developing and resource poor country such as our environment where the doctor-patient ratio is very poor, proper distribution of physicians to meet the health demands of the people becomes of utmost importance. Study Design: A descriptive questionnaire based study. Place and Duration: Department of otorhinolaryngology surgery university of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital between January 2019 and March 2019. Methodology: We distributed semi structured self- administered questionnaire to all the final year medical students and the house officers of university of port Harcourt and university of port Harcourt teaching hospital. Only the house officers that did rotation in the ORL surgery department and final year medical students that gave their consent were recruited into the study. Those that did not do a rotation in ORL among the house officers and those that did not give consent were excluded. The data obtained was analyzed using SPSS version 20.0 and results presented in simple statistical tables. Results: In this study there was a recovery rate of 82.4% with 70 respondents, 45 males and 25 females with a ratio of 1.8:1. Age range was 20 to 39 years. The age range 25-29 (58.57%) was the highest and least in age 35-39(4.29%). The final year medical students constituted 57.14% of the study population, 60% (n=42) did not want to specialize; only about 31.43% will like to specialize. while57.14% rated their clinic exposure as excellent, most rated the trainer`s method mainly average.   Most; 74.3% will not choose ORL, 14.3% were undecided and only 11.4% will like to specialize in ORL.  Main reason for this choice is exposure during clinical rotation and mentorship. Conclusion: The interest in ORL among medical trainees is poor. Among those interested, exposure during clinical rotation is paramount. Dedication and innovative ideas on the part of teachers and mentors may arouse the interest in this specialty.
