AbstractSome decades ago being a medical doctor was characterized unambiguously as a profession that offers help and serves the patients’ needs during medical treatment. In today’s society, this image of the medical profession has been substantially changed. The present paper aims to examine medical career choice motivations and preferences of choosing speciality, in the light of current social and economic changes in Hungary. The study was carried out by using a voluntary, self-administrated, questionnaire among first-year medical students and resident doctors in four medical faculties in Hungary. The career choice motivations of the first-year medical students and resident doctors are similar and match to the traditional health profession career choice motivations. Nevertheless the first-year students consider high income as one of the most important factors. They appear more conscious and more ambitious regarding their future speciality choice. The Hungarian health care system and medical education must be prepared for the presence of students that are aware of the high market value of a medical diploma, have excellent language skills, and consider migration as one main factor in their motivation when choosing a medical profession.

AbstractPathology is important in training to become a medical doctor but as curricula become more integrated, there is a risk that key aspects of pathology may be excluded. Following a survey of the current delivery of teaching in Ireland under the auspices of the Faculty of Pathology at the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland, suggested components of a core curriculum in pathology have been developed to be delivered at some stage during the medical course. These have been based on key principles and themes required by the Medical Council in Ireland. Professionalism is one of the core principles emphasised by the Medical Council. It includes the role of the pathologist in patient care and other professional values such as patient-centred care, clinical competencies and skills, e.g. explaining results, and knowledge under the various sub-disciplines, i.e. histopathology (including neuropathology), clinical microbiology, haematology, chemical pathology and immunology. In each of these, we suggest key aspects and activities that the medical graduate should be comfortable in carrying out. The methods of delivery of teaching and assessment across pathology disciplines have evolved and adapted to recent circumstances. Lessons have been learned and insights gained during the COVID-19 pandemic as educators have risen to the challenge of continuing to educate medical students. Integrated and multi-disciplinary teaching is recommended to reflect best the professional environment of the medical graduate who works as an integral part of a multi-disciplinary team, with the minimum dependence on the traditional lecture, where at all possible. Finally, options on assessment are discussed, e.g. multiple-choice questions, including their respective advantages and disadvantages.

Health anxiety is a disorder that can be very distressful and cause unnecessary examinations. A doctor is expected to handle health anxiety in terms of examination, diagnosis, therapy, and counselling processes. To provide optimal patient counselling, a doctor needs confidence, empathy, and good mental health. However, the process to become a medical doctor requires a student to read through a large amount of medical information, which arguably might induce “medical student's syndrome,” or health anxiety. Contradicting research findings exist about such conditions, however, most of them use traditional measures of health anxiety and do not consider students' online behaviour. The authors hypothesized that a medical student is susceptible to cyberchondria, a form of health anxiety due to excessive internet use. Some studies have shown that there may be higher cyberchondria scores among medical students compared to the general population. Cyberchondria needs to be studied further to improve the mental health condition of medical students and to provide optimal future healthcare for patients.

Abstract Aim Medical trainees make career choices in the final year of medical school or after graduation, if they do not continue with residency directly. Most Dutch medical students are trained in vertically integrated (VI) curricula, with early clinical experience and a gradual increase in clinical responsibilities. Students in such curricula have been reported to make career choices at an earlier stage than graduates from more traditionally designed curricula. Many Dutch graduates build further clinical experience after graduation as physicians-not-in-training (PNITs) before beginning residency. We explored how students make career choices and whether pre-residency clinical responsibilities influence this choice. Method A qualitative study with a phenomenology approach was used. The authors conducted a longitudinal interview study of medical students with two intervals over a 2-year period. The interview questions covered how trainees establish career preferences and which factors affect preference and choice over time. Results Experiencing clinical responsibility was a key factor for career preference during all interview rounds. Being a PNIT who makes diagnostic and therapeutic decisions, have their own patients and have significant patient care responsibilities creates opportunities to build an image of a future context of employment. Some participants mentioned that their experience of having full responsibility as a PNIT was pivotal in a career preference change. Conclusion Clinical responsibility as a student or a PNIT appears to be important for career preference and choice. The experience of responsibility as a medical doctor forces trainees to reflect on personal needs and to consider which career preference fits best.

Abstract Introduction                 Medical doctor competency exams (UKMPPD) in Indonesia is a final test that should be followed by medical student before being declared worthy of a medical doctor’s degree. This exam is certainly intended with good intentions, in order to improve the standards and quality of graduates of Indonesian doctors. However, each policy turns out to have two opposite sides of the situation, on the one hand it is profitable but on the other it often creates new problems. Students’ fear of the competency test often causes new psychological problems for students. No doubt the failure of the competency exam causes students to experience prolonged disappointment and sadness, which in turn will cause depression. This research is the first research that aim to present a description of personality and psychopathology dimension data from UKMPPD participants who failed the test.   Method This study was an exploratory descriptive study by presenting narratives of personality and psychopathology dimensions of unsuccessful UKMPPD participants. This research was conducted at the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Sriwijaya Palembang, Indonesia. Each participant was assessed personality and psychopathology dimensions using MMPI-2 (Minnesota Multiaxial Personality Inventory-2). The results of analysis with MMPI-2 present data in the form of clinical psychic conditions, the work capacity, interpersonal relationships, the work abilities and the ability to change the self  potential of the research subjects.   Result The research subjects were UKMPPD participants who did not successfully pass the first exam. From 7 research subjects, there were 2 subjects who successfully passed the second exam (28.5%) and there were 3 people who successfully passed after the third exam (43%). Meanwhile, 2 research subjects have not successfully passed the UKMPPD exam until the fifth exam (28.5%). The results are quite surprising that of the 7 participants who failed to pass the UKMPPD exam, all of them felt depression.   Conclusion Medical students who experienced UKMPPD failures have an inability to develop their own potential which result in depression due to failure of the exam

Background: A clinical associate (ClinA) is a mid-level health professional who may only practise under the supervision of a medical doctor. By extension, medical students need to be prepared for this responsibility. This study explored whether final-year medical students at one university were aware of this supervisory role, felt prepared and were knowledgeable about the ClinAs’ scope of practice.Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted. The population included all final-year medical students who had completed their District Health and Community Obstetrics rotations (March to November 2017). After an end-of-rotation session, 151 students were given questionnaires to complete. A list of 20 treatments or procedures was extracted from the ClinAs’ gazetted scope of practice for a ‘knowledge test’. Data were analysed with Stata and Microsoft Excel. Ethical permission was granted.Results: The response rate was 77.4% (n/N = 117/151). The majority of participants (76.1%, n = 86) had worked with a qualified or student ClinA before and had a generally positive impression (81.4%; n = 70). Almost half (47.8%; n = 56) thought that the ClinAs’ scope of work was similar to registered nurses rather than a doctor’s (38.2%; n = 44). Most were unaware that they would be required to supervise ClinAs once qualified (65.8%; n = 77). On average, participants identified 12 out of 20 treatments or procedures that a ClinA could perform.Conclusion: Despite having worked with ClinAs, participants appeared largely unaware of their future legal obligation of supervision. Adequate clinical supervision is based on the knowledge of the scope of practice, which was variable. Formal training on the scope of the work of ClinAs is needed to prepare future doctors for their supervisory role. Medical schools have an obligation to adequately prepare their students in this regard as part of their transformative education with elements of interprofessional education.

Abstract Background Clinical associates (ClinAs) are mid-level health professionals in South Africa who must practice under the supervision of a medical doctor. Not only are they a new category of health professional, but it is the first time that medical doctors are directly responsible for the clinical work done by some-one else. By extension medical students should also be prepared for this responsibility. This study explored whether final-year medical students at one university were aware of their future supervisory role, felt prepared and were aware of the ClinAs' scope of practice. Methods This descriptive cross-sectional study used a questionnaire adapted from an American study. Final year medical students (n = 151) were invited to participate. Data were analysed with Stata and Microsoft Excel. Ethical permission was granted (53/2017). Results The response rate was 77.4% (n/N=117/151). The majority of participants (76.1%, n = 86) had worked with a qualified ClinA or ClinA student before and they were positive (81.4%, n = 70) about working together. Almost half (47.8%, n = 56) thought that ClinAs' scope of work was similar to registered nurses rather than a doctor's (38.2%; n = 44). Most (65.8%; n = 77) were unaware that they would be required to supervise ClinAs once qualified. Among the few who were aware of this future supervisory role (12.8%; n = 15), almost half (46.7%; n = 7) felt adequately trained. A 20-item 'knowledge test' on the ClinAs' scope of practice revealed that on average, participants selected 12/20 treatments or procedures that a ClinA may legally perform. Conclusions Despite having worked with ClinAs, participants appeared largely unaware of their future legal obligation. Knowledge of the scope of practice was variable in this study. Main messages: Adequate clinical supervision is based on the knowledge of the scope of practice. Working with ClinAs is not adequate preparation for supervision and formal training is needed to prepare future doctors. Key messages Working with ClinAs is not adequate preparation for supervision. Formal training and preparation is needed to prepare future doctors for this new role.

Prescription is an instruction written by a medical practitioner to give a drug or device for a patient. The proper prescription will contribute to speedy recovery or healing process for the patient. Clinical clerkship must have an excellent competency to choose the right medication and prescribe the appropriate drugs or therapy. This study aims to analyze the common error in prescription's writing in clinical clerkship among medical students at their final examination to be a medical doctor. This study used the analytic method to 609 sheets of prescription from 180 clerkship students in their last try out on objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) at the Faculty of Medicine Universitas Islam Bandung in March 2018. Analyzed the component that every prescription should have, which consists of patient identity, superscription, inscription, subscription, and signatures. The result showed that more than half of the clerkship students made an error in subscription (50.25%) and signatures items (55.83%), while most of them had written down properly the patient identity (77.5%), superscription (83.74%), and inscription (78.98%). As a result, with more than half error in a prescription written in subscription and signature item, the failure of giving adequate therapy will cause a low recovery or healing process to the patients. Moreover, it may harm or cause death to the patients. In conclusion, more than half of medical students made common errors in prescription's writing. KESALAHAN PENULISAN RESEP PADA MAHASISWA KOASISTENSI FAKULTAS KEDOKTERANResep merupakan instruksi yang ditulis oleh tenaga medis untuk memberikan obat atau seperangkat alat kepada pasien. Peresepan yang tepat akan membawa proses pemulihan dan penyembuhan terhadap pasien. Mahasiswa kedokteran yang menjalankan masa koasisten harus memiliki kompetensi yang baik untuk memilih dan menuliskan terapi yang sesuai. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis kesalahan umum dalam penulisan resep pada mahasiswa kedokteran yang akan menghadapi ujian akhir untuk menjadi seorang dokter. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode analitik terhadap 609 lembar resep dari 180 mahasiswa kedokteran yang sedang melaksanakan try out akhir objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) di Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Islam Bandung pada Maret 2018. Dianalisis setiap komponen yang harus ada dalam penulisan resep, yaitu identitas pasien, superskripsi, inskripsi, subskripsi, dan signature. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa lebih dari setengah mahasiswa melakukan kesalahan pada item subskripsi (50,25%) dan signature (55,83%), sedangkan sebagian besar sudah menulis dengan baik pada item identitas pasien (77,5%), superskripsi (83,74%), dan inskripsi (78,98%). Akibatnya, dengan lebih dari setengah jumlah kesalahan dalam penulisan item subskripsi dan signature maka kegagalan dalam memberikan terapi yang adekuat dapat menyebabkan angka kesembuhan yang rendah, terlebih lagi dapat menimbulkan bahaya bahkan kematian terhadap pasien. Simpulan, lebih dari setengah mahasiswa kedokteran melakukan kesalahan umum dalam penulisan resep.

Every year across the globe, thousands of students begin the quest towards becoming a medical doctor and donning a long white coat. Global research indicates that after beginning medical education, medical students' mental health and well-being dramatically declines. The loss of well-being continues into the residency and practice of medicine. The aim of this chapter is to broadly examine the pressures unique to medical students within the context of medical education training, higher education, and the general population. A call for medical education to adopt innovative policy, plans, and administrative and curricular changes designed to foster a culture conducive to the long-term positive mental health and well-being of medical students during training and into the internship and long-term practice of medicine concludes the chapter.
