An eight week period of study was undertaken at Shanghai Medical University as a student elective from Manchester University Medical School. During this time the student was taught elements of the traditional theory of acupuncture and was given clinical training in acupuncture, electroacupuncture, moxibustion, cupping and herbal injection. A good variety of medical problems were seen being treated. The process of selecting a suitable venue for a student elective in China is discussed, as is the teaching routine in an acupuncture clinic.

The article reveals the roles and functions of the modern teacher of higher medical educational establishment (instructor, trainer, tutor, mentor, coach, facilitator, manager, researcher) in creating high-quality experience for students and ensuring conditions for their knowledge acquisition, competencies and skills. It was substantiated the necessity of updating the pedagogical paradigm in the higher medical school according to evolutionary personal changes of the modern youth generation. It is also established that future doctors’ healthcare and foreign language competencies formation are not evaluated adequately among the university teachers’ functions. The key tasks of the modern medical university teachers, which are interrelated and interdependent with each other, are determined.

The article discusses one of the episodes of the history of Yaroslavl State Medical University – a change in approaches to the final certification of graduates of medical faculties. The author dwells on how, over the course of seven decades, starting from wartime, the order of conducting state examinations, the list of exam disciplines submitted for final certification, the content of tickets, the form of state graduation exams, the requirements for the graduates of a higher medical school have changed. The content of the article is illustrated with photographic documents that clearly demonstrate the atmosphere of the exams of the past decades.

Abstract Hispanic minorities have a higher incidence of chronic disease which may result in increased hospitalizations and life-threatening illness. Our growing geriatric population led our community hospital to create a dedicated Palliative Care department, an interprofessional team of physicians, nursing, pharmacy, social work, counselors, and chaplains whose collaborative practice has improved outcomes thus strengthening healthcare delivery. When our new medical school established graduate programs, including Internal Medicine residency and Hospice/Palliative Medicine fellowship, our team embraced the opportunity to optimize our palliative service through enhanced interprofessional care. We created a geriatric rotation on July 1, 2018 in which 60% of residents worked with palliative care professionals as a consult team bringing together the inpatient resident service and palliative interdisciplinary team. This collaborative model allowed the palliative team to interface with our trainees and teach them to identify the range of needs of older adults early on in their care. Residents reported 100% satisfaction on evaluations, specifically on clinical training, goal fulfillment, and team support. Our learners valued the opportunity to learn with and from other healthcare professionals. Supervising providers also felt that working with residents was beneficial to their practice habits (i.e., providing evidence-based practices, application of guidelines), which offered them a more holistic approach in caring for patients and families. The interprofessional collaboration between a community hospital and medical school to educate and train clinicians who care for individuals with advanced illness has fostered confidence, trust, mutual respect, open communication and effective sharing of critical information for both clinicians and patients.

ObjectivesTo determine if increased exposure to clinical specialties at medical school is associated with increased interest in pursuing that specialty as a career after foundation training.DesignA retrospective observational study.Setting31 UK medical schools were asked how much time students spend in each of the clinical specialties. We excluded two schools that were solely Graduate Entry, and two schools were excluded for insufficient information.Main outcome measuresTime spent on clinical placement from UK undergraduate medical schools, and the training destinations of graduates from each school. A general linear model was used to analyse the relationship between the number of weeks spent in a specialty at medical school and the percentage of graduates from that medical school entering each of the Core Training (CT1)/Specialty Training (ST1) specialties directly after Foundation Year 2 (FY2).ResultsStudents spend a median of 85 weeks in clinical training. This includes a median of 28 weeks on medical firms, 15 weeks in surgical firms, and 8 weeks in general practice (GP). In general, the number of training posts available in a specialty was proportionate to the number of weeks spent in medical school, with some notable exceptions including GP. Importantly, we found that the number of weeks spent in a specialty at medical school did not predict the percentage of graduates of that school training in that specialty at CT1/ST1 level (ß coefficient=0.061, p=0.228).ConclusionsThis study found that there was no correlation between the percentage of FY2 doctors appointed directly to a CT1/ST1 specialty and the length of time that they would have spent in those specialties at medical school. This suggests that curriculum adjustments focusing solely on length of time spent in a specialty in medical school would be unlikely to solve recruitment gaps in individual specialties.

Objective: To evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of Mini-CEX as a formative WPBA tool at Rehman Medical College. To compare the annual exam short case scores of students with their internal Mini-CEX scores. Study design: Cross Sectional study. Setting: Rehman Medical College, Peshawar. Period: January to February 2016. Material & Methods: Mini-CEX was implemented for the first time in a medical college of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa after training of faculty & students on simulators. 100 MBBS students of Final Professional were included in the study through universal sampling. Completed Mini-CEX forms were collected weekly by Department of Medical Education (DME), and data entered in an Excel file. Mini-CEX scores of graduates were reviewed, compared and correlated with Khyber Medical University (KMU) practical exam scores in the same subjects for short cases. Results: 84 students were selected after data cleaning. Total required Mini-CEX were, 2338, submitted were 2563 with maximum mean submission/student of 5.32 in Obs/Gyn against a required mean of 3.32 (n=83, total rotation period = 04 weeks). The minimum requirement was 01 Mini-CEX/week. Total mean submission for all clinical disciplines was 7.67/student against a required mean of 6.27/student, showing ease and feasibility in implementation and student compliance. Significant correlation with KMU annual examination scores was observed only for Surgery (p=0.04). The correlation was insignificant for the other 03 disciplines of Medicine, Pediatrics and obstetrics and Gynecology with p >0.05. Conclusion: Mini-CEX implementation is feasible and acceptable tool for formative WPBA in undergraduate clinical training. The student performance in Mini-CEX does not has a major effect on their annual exams scores.
