Quality Assurance Scheme

This cross-sectional study was conducted with the objective to assess the teacher's knowledge about ongoing quality assurance scheme (QAS) at different government and nongovernment medical & dental colleges in Bangladesh. Teachers of different categories were the respondents of this study. Self administered structured questionnaire was used to collect data adopting simple random sampling. The study was conducted in 2008 & 2009. The study revealed that both government and nongovernment medical colleges are conducting the QAS in their respective institutions. The academic coordinator play a vital role to run the QAS and for phase coordination. Students also participate as the representative member of the committee. Existing infrastructure of QAS is performing at its best effort but needs further development for upgradation of the services with an aim to improve the performance of the institutes. Principles of QAS are accountability, selfevaluation and external peer review. Major areas of QAS are organizational & operational frameworks. Organizational framework consists of both academic council and course committee. External examiners are appointed by university. External assessors are appointed by academic council but needs faculty approval. Operational framework consists of course appraisal, faculty development, review scheme, & external review. The study recommends that quality assurance scheme (QAS) should be thoroughly implemented and evaluated by the national quality assurance body. Both the organizational and operational frameworks should run along with faculty development and review scheme. Teachers should be more oriented to update their knowledge for better practices of QAS.

This descriptive cross sectional study was carried out to assess the current status of practice of Quality Assurance Scheme(QAS) in different government and non-government medical colleges of Bangladesh. Principals/academic coordinators and students of all the medical colleges were the study population. Sample size were 13 principals/academic coordinators and 760 MBBS students of different phases. Convenience sampling technique was adopted to conduct the study. Two semi-structured self administered questionnaires one for the students and other for the principal/academic coordinator and one checklist were used to collect data from the respondents . Study revealed that 80.8% medical colleges have complete institutional framework of QAS and 68.1% medical colleges have fully functioning operational framework of QAS. Majority of the medical colleges (53.8%) do not have student representatives in academic coordination committee and only 23% medical colleges collected the phase wise evaluation of the course by the students. More than sixty one percent (61.54%) medical colleges have faculty development and review committee and 76.92% medical colleges have faculty development programme. Provision of exchange review visit by the academic coordinators is absent in 84.61% medical colleges. Almost all the medical colleges (92.31%) prepared and submitted the QAS report to NQAB in the last year. Regarding teaching learning 56.7% students were satisfied/very satisfied. A significant number of students (37.9%) gave negative opinion regarding recognition of students opinion in teaching learning. In the present study it was found that 9.1 % teachers of the selected medical colleges were engaged in research work in last year , 15.5% teachers had publication and 14.8% teachers presented scientific paper at various level in last year.Bangladesh Journal of Medical Education Vol.6(1) 2015: 2-7

Quality Assurance Scheme

This cross-sectional study was conducted with the objective to assess the present status of activities related to quality assurance scheme (QAS) in medical and dental colleges of Bangladesh. The Principal or Vice principal or Academic coordinator was respondent and any one of them from each medical or dental college filled up a questionnaire. The study was conducted in 2008. Regarding the on going activities related to quality assurance scheme in their colleges, majority of the respondents mentioned that there are formal phase committees and course committee to run the quality assurance scheme, functioning faculty development and review scheme, continuing professional development activities like seminar etc., and mechanism to collect students' feedback through structured questionnaire. Majority of them also mentioned that phase committees & course committee meetings held regularly, academic coordinator regularly met with the phase coordinators, student outcome analyzed, annual sports and cultural functions held regularly and recently they have submitted a report on the status of QA scheme to the Director Medical Education and  Health Manpower Development (ME & HMPD). On the other hand most of them mentioned that the teachers of their respective medical colleges did not have adequate training on QAS, did not have adequate resources, designated staff for running QAS and functioning medical skill centre in the colleges and did not collect external examiners' report. Most of the respondents recommended that teachers should be adequately trained on QAS, staff should be designated to run QAS and adequate resources should be allocated to run QAS and activities should be monitored and evaluated regularly.

Abstract We assessed the LKB "Delfia" (time-resolved dissociation-enhanced lanthanide fluoroimmunoassay) and the Amersham "Amerlite" (enhanced luminescent immunometry) assays of thyrotropin in serum. Both assays are sensitive (respective detection limits: 0.02 and 0.04 milli-int. unit/L) and have very good within- and between-batch precision over a wide range of thyrotropin concentrations. Results by the two methods correlate well (r = 0.992); the regression equation is: Amerlite = 0.915 Delfia - 0.33 milli-int. unit/L. The standard curve for the Delfia assay was linear, but that for the Amerlite assay showed some deviation from linearity below 0.5 milli-int. unit/L. Both assays have a negative bias in comparison with radiolabeled immunoradiometric assays, as judged by results for samples from the Quality Assurance Scheme. Both assays discriminate well between hyper-, hypo-, and euthyroid subjects, and results for thyrotropin for most patients with nonthyroidal illness were within the euthyroid reference interval. Both assays are convenient to perform and are based on systems that provide a viable alternative to radioimmunoassay.
