Application of organ-system-based curriculum design in the training of post competency for medical imaging / 中华医学教育探索杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the teaching effect of organ-system-based curriculum (OSBC) on cultivating the post competency of radiologists.Methods:Based on the teaching design of OSBC, our study has completed the teaching practice for imaging diagnosis of prostate diseases, focal liver lesions, small pulmonary nodules and intestinal obstruction. The imaging diagnosis of prostate diseases was taken as teaching point. Fifty-two trainees were divided into four groups junior standardized residents and clinical-type postgraduates (JSRCP) group, senior grade of standardized residents and clinical-type postgraduates (SG-SRCP), advanced training radiologist (ATR) group, intern doctors (ID) group. The teaching framework of pre-training assessment, training and post-training test was designed, and the teaching effect and the operability evaluation of OSBC was compared in terms of test scores and subjective evaluation before and after the training. SPSS 18.0 was used for t test. Results:The test scores after training of four groups were significantly improved compared to the test scores before training. The test scores of SG-SRCP group and ATR group were significantly higher than those of ID group ( F=16.609, P<0.001). The results of subjective evaluation showed that the SG-SRCP and ATR group had the highest degree of satisfaction. Conclusion:OSBC education mode has a good training effectiveness of middle and advanced stages course of medical imaging. In the future teaching, OSBC teaching should be explored among different levels of students.
