ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the effect of curriculum on the awareness and attitude on the rural-oriented medical education among medical students.Methods:The grade 2019 and 2020 medical students of rural-oriented program in Hebei Medical University were enrolled. Two different curricula were adopted in the first year, for students of grade 2020 more courses in general medicine, humanities and social sciences were added, and not for those of grade 2019. A questionnaire survey was conducted at the end of their first academic year. The questionnaire contained the basic information of students, opinions and satisfaction with curriculum design, understanding of policies about rural-oriented medical education, and the sense of career identity; each item in the questionnaire was scored by 5-point Likert scale.Results:A total of 173 questionnaires were distributed and 161 valid questionnaires were recovered, with a recovery rate of 93.1%; there were 55 responders (15 males and 40 females) from grade 2019, and 106 from grade 2020 (52 males and 54 females). The main reasons for choosing rural-oriented program were job security (60.0% (33/55) in 2019 and 58.5% (62/106) in 2020), the main way to know the relevant policies of the program was through the internet (54.5% (30/55) in 2019 and 66.0% (70/106) in 2020); 34.5% (19/55) of grade 2019 students were willing to continue working in rural areas after contracted period of service, while the percentage was 47.2% (50/106) for grade 2020. Students in grade 2020 had a higher satisfaction scores on the content and quality of teaching courses, as well as teaching satisfaction compared to those in grade 2019( t=2.34 and 3.00, P<0.05). The awareness of relevant policies before enrollment and policies related to contract violations among grade 2020 students was higher than that of grade 2019( t=2.70 and 5.08, P<0.05); the scores of all questions about general practice answered by students in grade 2020 were higher than those in grade 2019( t=3.96, 3.37, 3.55, 2.85, 3.84, 5.26 and 5.10,all P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in the scores of cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and adaptive aspects of career identity between students of two grades( t=0.70, 0.78, 0.74 and 1.37,all P>0.05). Conclusions:The reformed curriculum has positive effect on the satisfaction and awareness of rural-oriented medical education program and relevant policies among medical students in the program; however, it has less effect on the sense of career identity and willingness to continue to work in rural areas after the contracted period of serve.
ABSTRACT
To set the cultivation goal with adaptation to rural order-oriented medical students, the teaching mode of Human Parasitology was reformed in the context of curriculum ideological and political education. The new teaching mode not only enables students to harvest medical knowledge during the school education stage, but also plays a guiding role in cultivation of humanistic qualities and professional spirit, which provides a basis for cultivating general practitioners serving for grassroots healthcare.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the recognition status and attitudes of general practice medical professional for rural-oriented clinical medical (general practice direction) students, and provide effective basis for teaching reform. Methods Using cluster sampling method, a questionnaire survey was conducted among 305 rural-oriented medical students in Hubei Medical University who belonged to four different grades. The questionnaire effective recovery was 98.07%, SPSS 17.0 software was used to analyze data, pro-portion (%) were used for statistical descriptive, chi-square test and nonparametric test were used for statis-tical inference. Results 16% (49) students believed that it was not necessary for local medical colleges and universities to set up general practice professional, The rates of students who understood this professional training objectives, employment channel, the future work and professional developments were 82.3% (251 students ), 64.5% (197 students ), 69.2% (211 students) and 66.9% (204 students ), respectively. 27.5%(84) of the students still didn't understand this professional curriculum, and lower cognitive learning public health curriculum. Only 31.1%(105) of students were satisfied with the current general medicine education.52.5% (160) students thought that the professional curriculum system had problems, mainly for the course content overlap and course setting time being not reasonable. Different grades of students had different de-gree of satisfaction in the professional knowledge, the general practice of professional learning attitude, teaching arrangement . Conclusion We should strengthen rural-oriented medical students' ! professional education thought and their cognition of general medicine as soon as possible and integrate and optimize the curriculum system, adjust the teaching content and set up reasonable curriculum opening time.
