RESUMO
ObjectiveTo systematically analyze the application of World Health Organization rehabilitation competency framework (RCF) and its supporting guidelines in education system of rehabilitation science and curriculum development. MethodsBased on the conceptual framework of RCF and its supporting guidelines, the application of its areas and the modes were analyzed to construct the education system of rehabilitation science with reference to the framework of competency-based clinical medical education. ResultsThe education system of rehabilitation science was developed based on RCF. The competences for specific scenarios in rehabilitation were defined and investigated. A structured system of vocational qualification accreditation and occupational competency standards was constructed, as well as core education system and rehabilitation curricula in rehabilitation science, which helped to train competent rehabilitation workers. ConclusionThe construction of rehabilitation subspecialties, its education system and the development of a curriculum content system based on the RCF is an important way for the development of modern rehabilitation education. RCF theoretical framework and supporting tools provide a standardized and unified method and way for China's rehabilitation science higher education system and professional certification, career access and professional standards for rehabilitation personnel. The quality of rehabilitation science education and the professional development of rehabilitation personnel will also be improved in future.
RESUMO
In the 2022 Model Core Curriculum for Medical Education in Japan, "Chapter 3, Educational strategies and assessment" section II. "Learner Assessment," consists of three parts : II-1. Approaches to learner assessment, II-2. Assessment methods, and II-3. Questions about learner assessment. Based on the idea that "the way assessment is done varies from institution to institution," the answer to the "Question" is deliberately not included. We hope that readers will refer to this chapter when planning learning assessments in curriculum development while considering the curriculum's background and context.

RESUMO
In the Model Core Curriculum for Medical Education revised in 2016, the aim to teach "social determinants of health (SDH) " appeared for the first time. In times of social disparity, socio-economic conditions, including unemployment and low income, sometimes discourage people from doing follow up visits to the clinic due to the copay. This happens despite the universal coverage of health insurance. The socio-cultural environment also affects individual health. For example, the sexual minority suffers from depression and suicidal risk due to prejudice in our society. The WHO states that SDH are mostly responsible for health inequities and should be tackled by health professionals. In this article, we discuss why we should teach medical students SDH and how we could implement the program to an already overloaded curricula.

RESUMO
SUMMARY: Anatomy is a foundational discipline in the training of health care professionals. However, there is a paucity of literature on the relative importance of anatomy, especially in relation to the other biomedical sciences and clinical domains, in preparing osteopathic practitioners for clinical practice. This study aimed to examine Australian osteopathic practitioners' perceptions of the relative importance of anatomy in their professional training and clinical practice, especially in relation to other biomedical sciences and clinical domains within osteopathic curricula. The study also examined the perceived importance of the sub-disciplines of anatomy to professional practice. A questionnaire-based survey was carried out among Australian osteopathic practitioners at several national meetings in 2014 and 2015. Using a five-point Likert scale, all respondents were asked to rate the relevance of the following thirteen disciplines and subdisciplines to clinical practice: biomechanics, biochemistry, embryology, histology, gross anatomy, microbiology, neuroanatomy, neurology, pathology, pharmacology, physical examination, physiology and radiology. Out of 175 practitioners surveyed, 169 responded (i.e., 96.6 % response rate). Two of the sub-disciplines of anatomy were among the highest rated, with 98.2 % perceiving gross anatomy as "very important" while neuroanatomy being rated as "very important" by 84.6 % and "quite important" by 14.2 %. Similar high rating was also given to biomechanics and physical examination while the other two sub-disciplines, embryology and histology received lower ratings. No significant difference in ratings were identified with regard to participants' year and place of graduation. However, there was an association between gender and rating on Pathology and Pharmacology respectively, as well as age effects on the ratings of several sub-disciplines. These findings are generally consistent with the results from similar surveys carried out on the clinical importance of anatomy in other medical and allied health professionals in different countries. Overall, osteopathic practitioners have a positive perception of the relevance of anatomy, particularly gross and neuroanatomy, to clinical practice, and this should be taken into account when developing osteopathic curricula.
RESUMEN: La anatomía es una disciplina fundamental en la formación de profesionales de la salud. Sin embargo, hay poca literatura sobre la importancia relativa de la anatomía, especialmente en relación con las otras ciencias biomédicas y los dominios clínicos, en la preparación de profesionales de la osteopatía para la práctica clínica. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo examinar las percepciones de los médicos osteopáticos australianos sobre la importancia relativa de la anatomía en su formación profesional y práctica clínica, especialmente en relación con otras ciencias biomédicas y dominios clínicos dentro de los currículos osteopáticos. El estudio también examinó la importancia percibida de las subdisciplinas de la anatomía para la práctica profesional. Se realizó una encuesta basada en un cuestionario entre los profesionales osteopáticos australianos en varias reuniones nacionales en 2014 y 2015. Utilizando una escala Likert de cinco puntos, se pidió a todos los encuestados que calificaran la relevancia de las siguientes trece disciplinas y subdisciplinas para la práctica clínica: Biomecánica, bioquímica, embriología, histología, anatomía macroscópica, microbiología, neuroanatomía, neurología, patología, farmacología, exploración física, fisiología y radiología. De los 175 practicantes encuestados, 169 respondieron (es decir, una tasa de respuesta del 96,6 %). Dos de las subdisciplinas de la anatomía estaban entre las mejor calificadas, con un 98,2 % que percibían la anatomía general como "muy importante", mientras que la neuroanatomía se calificaba como "muy importante" en un 84,6 % y "muy importante" en un 14,2 %. También se dio una calificación alta similar a la biomecánica y el examen físico, mientras que las otras dos subdisciplinas, embriología e histología recibieron calificaciones más bajas. No se identificaron diferencias significativas en las calificaciones con respecto al año de los participantes y el lugar de graduación. Sin embargo, hubo una asociación entre el sexo y la calificación en Patología y Farmacología respectivamente, así como los efectos de la edad en las calificaciones de varias subdisciplinas. Estos hallazgos son generalmente consistentes con los resultados de encuestas similares realizadas sobre la importancia clínica de la anatomía, en otros profesionales de la salud médicos y afines en diferentes países. En general, los profesionales de la osteopatía tienen una percepción positiva de la relevancia de la anatomía, en particular la neuroanatomía general y la neuroanatomía, para la práctica clínica, lo que se debe tener en cuenta al desarrollar los currículos osteopáticos.

OBJECTIVES: This paper aims to describe an outcome-based curriculum development process at a medical school that has difficulty in advancement from the higher stage outcomes to the individual lesson outcomes, and to propose a way to implement it practically. METHODS: We reviewed the objectives, strategies and previous products of the school's taskforce activities and suggested the principle of bidirectional approaches of outcome based curriculum development. RESULTS: The developing strategy identified such as firstly, the evaluation of present curriculum and then, the review of the outcomes developed previously with considering the nation-wide environmental change in medical education. Then, we selected one example course which was focused the resources of the school to, and finally the product of the example course was propagated to the other courses with central monitoring. CONCLUSION: Bidirectional model of ‘Top-down’ plus ‘Bottom-up’ approaches could be an efficient way to develop the outcome-based curriculum in a medical school, which has difficulties to advance the developing process due to various reasons including limited resources.

After Yeungnam University's College of Medicine was established in 1979, the curriculum for a preclinical medical education course was developed and implemented. Several modifications have since been made to the curriculum which was driven by changes in national policies and in the medical education environment. In recent years, it has become necessary to complement the weaknesses or shortcomings in the curriculum that were discovered during the basic medical education assessment process of the medical college. Since 2009, Yeungnam University has run two medical courses: a 6-year college of medicine course and a 4-year medical school course. However, as a result of changes in national policy, Yeungnam University decided to offer only the 6-year college of medicine course with an entirely new curriculum which will be implemented in 2017. The new curriculum for the preclinical medical education course consists of 36 credits of cultural essentials courses, 44 credits of major required courses, and 2 credits of major elective courses. The curriculum development requires the support of the university and/or college, the ensured independence of the curriculum development organization, and the cooperation and attention of fellow professors. Continuous efforts are needed to check, evaluate, and improve the curriculum.

The main points of issue with the former premedical curriculum of Seoul National University College of Medicine (SNUCM) were the absence of educational objectives, decline in student motivation caused by uniform education, students' lack of a sense of belonging, and lack of humanistic education. In accordance with these issues, there were five aspects considered for the improvement of the premedical curriculum: reform based on the newly established educational objectives that corresponds with the 6-year medical school curriculum as a whole, expansion of elective courses and the development of personalized curriculum for the improvement of students' learning motives, expansion of social sciences and humanities curriculum for the development of students' capabilities as good doctors, active participation of medical professors in premedical education, and expansion of informal education and the student support program. According to the assessment done after the implementation of the reformed curriculum, premedical students were gratified with its establishment and management of multifarious liberal arts and major subjects. In preparation of the more rigorous entrance quota of the premedical school at SNUCM, there is ongoing reform of required major subjects and establishment of new subjects in the premedical curriculum in pursuit of unity with the 6-year medical curriculum. Moreover, there is ongoing development of an e-portfolio system for the association of premedical and medical education, integration of formal and informal curriculum, and reinforcement of student observation and formative evaluation. Further discussion on the assessment and betterment of premedical curriculum is needed.

RESUMO
Background: The objective of this study is to develop an educational program to improve the antenatal care practice skills of fourth-year students in the midwifery department at Balikesir University’s school of health. Methods: The control group included 39 students who had taken public healthcare courses in the 2009-2010 academic year. The intervention group consisted of 40 students who had taken the same courses in the 2010-2011 academic year. The study’s dependent variable was the skill level; its independent variable was the educational program. The data evaluation guide feedback form was collected. The students’ scores for prenatal care were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test. Results: The study found that midwives in the control group, which did not receive the educational program, did not apply some of the steps in prenatal health care, such as examining the bellies of pregnant women, measuring their folic acid, assessing laboratory tests and providing them with information about their examinations. In addition, there were other skills in prenatal health care and communication that this group either never applied or applied only after being reminded. However, almost all of the midwives in the intervention group were found to have used communication skills effectively and to have completed prenatal healthcare in the proper order and in a highly qualified manner. Conclusion: The educational program developed for midwife education and practice has been successful and effective. Almost all of the people in the control group have fully applied their healthcare follow-up skills.
RESUMO
Academic institutions collect student feedback to improve their curriculum and teaching quality. At the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine (YLLSoM), National University of Singapore (NUS), the feedback is also used to disburse funds to clinical teaching sites as well as to make decisions on faculty performance. There are studies on the benefits and uses of measurement tools (e.g. student ratings) to evaluate university courses, however, studies evaluating the process of effecting changes to the system are few. In this study, the authors discuss the limitations of the student feedback system/processes and the way new changes were instituted to overcome these limitations at YLLSoM, NUS. This study highlights the importance of constantly reviewing the feedback mechanism to obtain better inputs for improving the learning environment. Our findings are particularly useful for the training of clinical teachers in Asian and new medical schools, who can learn from our strengths to meet the required standards.
RESUMO
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to examine the background and improvement of the reformed premedical curriculum in Seoul National University and to analyze in which it corresponds with its intentions. It gives implications to premedical curriculum through its development model. METHODS: The background and improvement of the reformed premedical curriculum was analyzed through several reports from those of associated committees. The development model of the reformed curriculum was made in order to examine correspondence with the intentions of its reformation. RESULTS: The graduate credit increased while compulsory credit was in decrease which leads to the elimination of standardized education based on the natural sciences. The requirements in compulsory liberal arts and elective major subjects were suggested in order to develop students' perspectives in humanities. CONCLUSION: As premed is a preliminary course before studying medicine, premedical curriculum should reflect the needs of those parties concerned-society, professors, students, etc.- and be based on core values and educational philosophy of the school in order to derive its competences.
