Comparison of different programs on training postgraduate students with professional degree in traditional Chinese medicine / 国际中医中药杂志

The study used questionnaires to investigate clinical TCM master degree students who enrolled in the year of 2011 and 2012 about the implementation effect of training plan before and after standardization of resident training. The results showed that a lot of students in the year 2011 and 2012 were satisfied with their training plan and training mode. However, the ability of clinical skills and academic research improved much higher after standardization of resident training among the students in 2012. The study showed that our education training plan met the training goal and reflected achievements in the cultivation of medical master degree of TCM. The training plan and training mode were higher satisfied for the students in the year 2011 and 2012. The conception of tutor, training target, the relationship between clinical skills and scientific research should be improved in future.

Apreciación estética y artística en el proceso enseñanza-aprendizaje de la medicina / Aesthetic and artistic appreciation using teaching-learning process in medical degree

Actualmente el trabajo educativo y las acciones de extensión no estimulan la apreciación estética y el disfrute del arte como parte de los conocimientos y habilidades específicas en los estudiantes, con lo que se articularían dos procesos centrales de la gestión universitaria. Se presenta un modelo para incorporar la apreciación artística en las asignaturas de la carrera de Medicina como complemento del proceso enseñanza-aprendizaje. A partir de los programas de las principales asignaturas de esta carrera y de acuerdo con los contenidos, se seleccionaron obras de arte que pueden ser utilizados como ejemplos para incorporarlas en el proceso enseñanza-aprendizaje sirviendo de elementos para la motivación y el aprendizaje, conjugando las funciones docentes con las extensionistas. Las obras de arte se ajustan a las asignaturas del ciclo básico, preclínico y clínico como es el caso de la Morfofisiología, Agentes Biológicos, Anatomía Patológica, Psicología, Medicina Interna, Cirugía, Pediatría, Ginecobstetricia, Ortopedia, Otorrinolaringología, y Medicina Legal entre otras. Se estimula a los profesores a seleccionar sus propias obras, a orientar trabajos independientes por asignaturas que sean presentados en jornadas estudiantiles y de extensión universitaria y a trabajar sus nexos con los contenidos. La inclusión de obras de arte en el proceso enseñanza-aprendizaje favorecería el rescate de la formación cultural y el gusto por el arte en los estudiantes y profesores de la carrera de medicina.

Nowadays educative work and university extension do not stimulate aesthetic appreciation and artistic enjoyment as a part of knowledge and specific cleverness in students, to coordinate two central processes of university management. There is a model to incorporate the encouragement of artistic appreciation in medical subjects as a complement of teaching-learning process. They were revised programs of main subjects of medical career, selecting works of art as example according contents of each one, to incorporate them in teaching-learning process, useful for motivation and combining teaching and extension functions. They were show works of art for basic, preclinic and clinic lectures as Morphophysiology, Microbiology, Pathology, Psychology, Internal Medicine, Surgery, Pediatrics, Gynecology and Obstetrics, Orthopedic, Otorhinolaryngology, and Legal Medicine among others, encouraging teachers to choose their preferred works of arts, to give students guidance for extra class works to be present in scientific and university extension conferences. Including works of arts in teaching-learning process will help recovery cultural education and pleasure for the enjoyment of art in students and professors of medicine career.

Suicídio: um tema pouco conhecido na formação médica / Suicide: a little-known topic in medical trainingt

Esta pesquisa foi realizada em instituição federal pública universitária com o objetivo de melhor conhecer visões, valores e atitudes dos médicos residentes em clínica médica em relação ao suicídio. Trabalhou-se com o conceito de representação social (Moscovici) e a metodologia qualiquantitativa do discurso do sujeito coletivo (DSC) (Lefèvre e Lefèvre). Os discursos revelaram que os médicos residentes se apresentam sensibilizados com a questão do suicídio, entretanto não familiarizados com a bibliografia especializada e nem com os procedimentos de atendimento normatizados pelo Ministério da Saúde e pela OMS. Os pesquisados revelaram dificuldades para identificar e prestar atendimento a pacientes em risco de suicídio. Conclui-se que parece faltar à formação médica (graduação e residência) maior atenção ao tema suicídio.

This research was conducted at a federal university with the aim of understanding better the visions, values and attitudes of resident physicians at medical practices in relation to suicide. The study drew on the concept of social representation (Moscovici) and employed the mixed method of discourse of the collective subject (DCS) (Lefèvre and Lefèvre). The discussions revealed that, although aware of the suicide issue, residents were not familiar with the specialist literature or with the Ministry of Health and WHO standard procedures in such cases. The residents revealed difficulties in identifying and providing care for high suicide risk patients. It is concluded that both university and residency medical training require a greater emphasis on the topic of suicide.
