A System for Medical Students to Evaluate the Teaching Skills of Medical Staff / 医学教育

ABSTRACT

1) We report on a system implemented in 2007 in the Department of Otolaryngology, Osaka University School of Medicine, to allow medical students to evaluate the teaching skills of medical staff and report on the effects of interventions, based on the evaluations, to improve the teaching skills of the staff.<BR>2) The scores for teaching skills in clinical training as evaluated by medical students were significantly increased after the staff had checked their scores to improve their teaching skills.<BR>3) The number of students choosing to do clinical clerkships in the Department of Otolaryngology was higher in 2008, when students evaluated the staff s teaching skills, than in 2007, when they did not.
