Evaluation Of Teaching

Introduction: Students' feedback is a recommended tool to evaluate the merit of a teaching curriculum. Search of literature, however, reveals a very few such attempts on the subject of anaesthesiology in medical undergraduate level. Objective: The reported study was conducted to evaluate the undergraduate course curriculum of medical students from students' feedback. Method: To judge the students' viewpoint, a pertinent and simple questionnaire was designed to collect the feedback from the final year MBBS students of AFMC Dhaka for five consecutive years. Students were asked to fill up the questionnaire on completion of their placement. Result: A total of 253 students had participated in this unbiased and anonymous feedback. While 96.7% students agreed that the posting provided them an insight into the subject of anaesthesiology and critical care but 38.3% found that the duration of posting was inadequate. Though 98.8% students responded that the topics were interesting but only 56.8% found that the practical demonstrations were adequate. The three top ranking topics of interest in decreasing order were cardiopulmonary resuscitation (93.6%), airway maintenance along with endotracheal intubation (55.2%) and spinal anaesthesia (32.5%). Interestingly these three topics were demonstrated practically along with theory sessions. Not surprisingly the three commonest suggestions were prolonging the duration (34.8%) as well as practical demonstrations (31.2%) and more opportunity to 'hands on practice' (24.5%). Conclusion: This little effort may help the curriculam reviewers to think.

The aim of the article is to provide a justification for the introduction of “research competency” concept and to describe the ways of its formation among students of higher medical institution, based on the experience of the Students' Scientific Society (SSS) work at the Department of Internal Medicine 3 of State Institution “Dnipropetrovsk Medical Academy of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine”. The need to implement the research competency in the medical students training is substantiated in this article on the base of current legislation of Ukraine and today's requirements. A SSS work at a clinical department is analysed as one of the possible ways of the research competency acquisition, with the aspects that contributes to the development of the desired skills as well as those that may impede its mastery. Research work is a powerful impetus to the motivation to learn, as it directs students to scientific research. During working at SSS, students learn how to make a literary search, critically assimilate and assess of primary research literature and formulate a scientific problem, which require solution. At next step, they choose and apply the appropriate research methods that could be used in solving this problem. And finally, participants comprehend the statistics and process the obtained data followed by their scientific papers presentation in literary scientific sources or conferences. The work at SSS helps graduates be more competitive in today's job market as it brings up and cultivates professionally required qualities, including teamwork, ability to manage time and workload properly, an understanding of medical ethics and a range of communication skills. Currently, working in a SSS remains one of the best available options for introduction of the research competency in the training of the medical students, but it does not provide complete involvement of all undergraduate students, as required by the law of Ukraine.

Abstract BackgroundPathology education transfers knowledge of Pathology and guides students to become pathologists. Recently, Ministry of Education of the People’s Republic of China strongly advocated establishing the system of ‘Golden Online and Offline Courses’, which indicates online courses will play important roles in college education. Furthermore, the number of pathologists has fallen far behind the clinical needs. To solve this health issue and implement the policy from Ministry of Education, improving current Pathology education is necessary, and first is to know students’ opinions on the present courses and their professional choices.MethodsQuestionnaires covering the quality of traditional courses, the attitude towards the online courses, and the suggestions for optimizing courses were designed and applied via web link. Whether students want to become pathologists and the underlying reasons are also incorporated into this survey. Medical students from certain colleges in Nanjing were participants. The collected data were assessed by corresponding percentages.ResultsOf the 215 valid responses, half of undergraduate students show their interests in Pathology courses, and among them, 50% express that they may become pathologists. However, the percentage is only 18.03% in the group without interest. For optimizing curriculums, the top two suggestions are introducing more clinical cases (undergraduate students, 74.42%; graduate students, 79.09%) and making the classes lively and interesting (undergraduate students, 67.44%; graduate students, 62.79%). Around 80% of students consider online courses as good supplementary materials to traditional courses, and half prefer online-offline mixed learning model. Salary, interest, and employment status are main factors influencing students’ professional choices.ConclusionsStudents are generally satisfied with the traditional Pathology courses, and the online courses are good supplementary materials in their opinions. Clinical cases are suggested to be introduced in classes. It is more likely for the students who have interests in Pathology to become pathologists. The main obstacles students will not become pathologists are boring work and unsatisfactory salary.

Behavioural Aspects

Purpose – The aim of this inquiry is to uncover the pattern of knowledge-sharing behaviour among the undergraduate and postgraduate students of private universities in Bangladesh. Design/methodology/approach – This inquiry studied the knowledge-sharing pattern of undergraduate and graduate students by utilising a questionnaire-based open-ended survey from several private universities in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Apart from the descriptive statistics, the research used t-test to further explain the data. Findings – This research focussed on seven areas of knowledge-sharing pattern. The data collected from 350 respondents from different private universities suggest that there are significant differences in the knowledge-sharing pattern between undergraduate and graduate students. Overall, this research documents that the postgraduate students have shown higher perceived attitudes towards knowledge sharing, compared to undergraduate students. Research limitations/implications – This research applied a descriptive study to understand knowledge-sharing patterns among undergraduate and postgraduate students, rather than a correlational study to ascertain the relationship among variables. Practical implications – This research has contributed to the knowledge-sharing research in several aspects. In fact, this study extended the research findings of Wei et al. (2012) by examining the patterns of knowledge sharing in a different socioeconomic environment. Although this research investigated the practice of knowledge sharing of undergraduate and postgraduate students by adapting the instrument of Wei et al. (2012), one of the significant contributions of this research is to explore the behavioural aspects of knowledge-sharing pattern among undergraduate and postgraduate students from different private universities in Bangladesh. By interpreting the knowledge-sharing pattern of undergraduate and postgraduate students of private universities, this inquiry will assist the government’s policymakers, management of individual universities and academicians to come up with novel methods of instruction and to transform the knowledge-driven higher learning establishment. Originality/value – The majority of studies on knowledge sharing have been conducted in an organisational context. This inquiry is one of few investigations to compare the knowledge-sharing patterns among undergraduate and postgraduate students in Bangladesh.

Nearly 50% of graduate students report experiencing emotional or psychological distress during their enrollment in graduate school. Levels of distress are particularly high for transgender and non-binary graduate students who experience daily discrimination and marginalization. Universities and colleges have yet to address and accommodate the needs and experiences of transgender and non-binary graduate students. Given the multitude of challenges these students may face, educational settings should not present additional barriers to educational success and well-being. In an effort to improve graduate education for transgender and non-binary students, we add to the existing scholarship on affirming work with transgender undergraduate students by addressing the unique concerns of graduate students. We utilize a social-ecological model to identify sources of discrimination in post-secondary education and to provide transgender- and non-binary-affirming recommendations at structural, interpersonal, and individual levels. For practitioners who wish to do personal work, we provide guidance for multicultural identity exploration. A table of recommendations and discussion of ways to implement our recommendations are provided.

BackgroundInformed consent is required for active participation of patients in medical education. At Keele Medical School, we require practices to advertise that they teach undergraduate students and to obtain appropriate patient consent at various stages of the patient journey.AimThe study aimed to explore patients’ experience of consent to involvement in undergraduate medical education in general practice.MethodDuring the final year at Keele University Medical School, students undertake a patient satisfaction survey. A questionnaire was attached to the reverse of this survey during the academic year 2016–2017. The questionnaire explored the stage of the patient journey consent was obtained, whether they were offered an alternative appointment and how comfortable they were with medical students being involved in their care.ResultsA total of 489 questionnaires were completed covering 62 GP practices. 97% of patients reported that consent was obtained at least once during their encounter and the majority reported that this occurred at booking. 98% of patients were comfortable or very comfortable with a medical student leading their consultation. However, 28% of those surveyed stated that they were either not given the option of not seeing the student or there was no other alternative appointment available.ConclusionThe results indicate that in the vast majority of cases patient consent is obtained at least once during their attendance. Patients expressed a high level of satisfaction with medical students’ involvement in their care. Further work is required to evaluate the role of the data as a marker of individual practice teaching quality.

Background: Regular voluntary unpaid blood donation assures safe blood supply in association with minimum infection transmission. The purpose of this study was to identify the frequency of regular voluntary blood donation and to evaluate the causes of donating blood as well as factors impeding blood donations among the medical and nonmedical students of Karachi. Methods: A comparative cross sectional study was conducted among medical and nonmedical students of JSMU and NED University respectively from May to October 2018. Sample size was 272 including 137 medical and 135 non-medical students. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 22.0. Chi-square test of independence/ Fischer’s exact test were applied to assess statistical significance. Result: In medical group 5/21(23.8%) voluntary regular donors were recorded. In non-medical group, voluntary regular donors were found to be 8/30 (26.6%) (p>0.00). Medical students most commonly 15/21 (71.4%) donated blood voluntarily in a camp while non-medical participants frequently donated blood as replacement donors 13/30 (43.3%) (p>0.00). Major hindering factor for blood donation in both study groups was non-participation in blood donation derives i.e. 66/116 (56.8%) in medical and 53/105 (50.4%) in non-medical groups respectively. Anemia, 20/116 (17.2%) in medical and 15/105 (14.2%) in nonmedical students was the second major cause of not donating blood. Conclusion: The frequency of regular voluntary blood donations is very low among undergraduates. However, comparatively, the trend is slightly higher among non-medical group. The major hindrance in not donating blood was non-participation in blood donating derives.
