ABSTRACT
Morning report sessions had long-standing history in medical education. Morning report management is an important aspect of professional medical education. To evaluate the contents of the morning report sessions, including management, staff training, deep learning, attention to learners at different level of education, record keeping, feedback, and final summarizing, direct observation of 73 sessions was conducted in five teaching hospitals in a medical university in Tehran. The following scores were obtained: morning report management [91%], training faculty members [9%], residents' training [4%], direct learning by patient management instead of memorizing study material [88%], paying attention to the different educational levels of learners [28%], record keeping [36%], systematic feedback [48%], and a final summarizing session [26%]. Out of eight, five dimensions related to teaching in the morning report sessions need improvisation, specifically on the training of faculty members and residents, paying attention to different educational levels of learners, brief summary of all sessions, and record keeping
ABSTRACT
Introduction: Ovarian cancer ranks the 8th cancer causing death in the world. This study aims to compare incidence rate of ovarian cancer in Iran with other countries
Patients and methods: Data from International Agency for Research on Cancer's GLOBOCAN 2008 database is used to compare ovarian cancer age standard incidence rate from different parts of the globe considering the developing and developed regions
Results: Iran is among countries with low incidence of ovarian cancer and an age standard incidence rate of 3.07 in 2005 and 3.1 in 2008
Conclusion: Ovarian cancer is the most common gynecologic cancer in Iran. Various risk and protective factors of ovarian cancer might be clarified in Iran in order to prevent increasing incidence of this cancer in the future. At the present this disease is significant considering its disease burden
