Improving postgraduate clinical training at Social Medical Corporation Kojunkai Daido Hospital / 医学教育

<p>　Social Medical Corporation Kojunkai Daido Hospital is aiming to be the best training hospital. By enhancing seminars in the hospital, we commenced a postdoctoral training program for medical instructors in February 2014 and November 2015. Since we received an accreditation for the clinical training program in 2014, we created an OSCE program on our own for trainees in August 2015 and June 2016. We also collaborated with the University of Nagoya for the OSCE program and held seminars in August 2015 and June 2016. We introduced the EPOC system for the evaluation of trainees in 2014, and Cybouze® for the constructive evaluation of and sharing of information on trainees in April 2016. Our residents obtained high scores for in the examination to evaluate knowledge of trainees held in February 2016, which shows the high quality of our educational program, established by the endless efforts of the educational committee and instructors.</p>

Experience of holding a workshop for clinical training instructors at Daido hospital / 医学教育

　To improve hospital quality, the development of authorized clinical instructors is urgently needed. Therefore, we held a workshop to develop clinical instructors. At a monthly meeting of the clinical training committee in June 2014, an agenda for holding a workshop was proposed. At the meeting in July 2014, most committee members said they were reluctant to hold a workshop because of heavy clinical duties. However, the hospital president strongly suggested that a workshop might be a foundation for reforming the stagnated hospital and persuaded committee members to hold a workshop to improve the instructors’ skill in teaching residents. At the September meeting, the workshop schedule was discussed. All members of the taskforce, except the chief coordinator and a lecturer, were selected from hospital physicians, and 3 preparatory meetings and 1 rehearsal were held. With the help of administrative staff, our first workshop for clinical instructors was held at Daido Hospital in February 2014. Our workshop helped create new hopes for improving educational tasks at our teaching hospital and improved the educational skills of participants. We also achieved mutual understanding as a team to accomplish a single goal.
