The Current Status and Issues of Clinical Training Workshops for Attending Physicians at Kyorin University Affiliated Hospital / 医学教育

Objective: To analyze participants’ opinions regarding the content of clinical training workshops for attending physicians.　Method: A total of 225 people participants in the workshops (approximately 17 hours in 2 days) that were held between 2013 and 2016. We provided the following training sessions: (1) Kawakita Jiro Method (KJ), (2) Process of clinical training, (3) Training program planning procedure, (4) Training objectives, (5) Classification of objectives, (6) Professionalism (PF), (7) 6 Microskills (6MS), (8) Significant event analysis (SEA), (9) Training strategies, (10) Coaching, (11) Educational evaluation, (12) Clinical training systems (CTS), and (13) Roles of attending physicians (RAP). We only used the results of questionnaires obtained from participants who consented to the investigation, and reviewed them for (1) training proficiency, (2) session interest, and (3) course evaluation.　Results: Training sessions showing high proficiency were KJ, RAP, and CTS, and those indicating low proficiency were educational objectives, SEA, and PF. Training sessions that were of great interest were 6MS, Coaching, and KJ.　Conclusion: In the evaluation of the entire course, overall value scored the highest, followed by significance of future participation and applicability of content. Overall, the participants felt that the time for the training course was a little long and that the difficulty level was somewhat high.

Current Status of the Clinical Simulation Laboratory at Kyorin University Faculty of Medicine and Affiliated Hospital / 医学教育

1)Our Clinical Simulation Laboratory (CSL) registered 19,085 training attendances with nurses accounting for the majority of trainees in first three years. Basic Life Support training experienced the highest demand.<br>2)CSL usage rose markedly in both spring and fall, showing three daily peaks (9 am, 10 am and 5 pm), and lasted for an average of one and a half hours per session.<br>3)The lending rate of the simulators to areas outside CSL came to about half of the internal use rate. The current simulator–based training program requires improvement to increase attendance by medical students and doctors.
