Application of multidisciplinary rounds in clinical teaching of urology / 中华医学教育探索杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the application and preliminary evaluation of multidisciplinary rounds (MDRs) in the clinical teaching of urology.Methods:A total of 20 pediatrics medical students in the clinical medicine were selected as the control group, and the traditional single department teaching rounds were used. Another 20 clinical medical students in the same grade were taken as the experimental group, and MDRs were used. The teaching officer of urology served as the general ward round teacher, combined with nephrology physicians and imaging ultrasound physicians to conduct bedside teaching rounds, and the length of the rounds was about 60 to 90 minutes. Through the teaching evaluation form and the test scores, the effect of teaching ward rounds was evaluated. SPSS 21.0 was used for statistical evaluation data, and the unpaired t-test was performed to make comparison between groups. Results:In terms of theoretical test, the average score of students in the experimental group was (92.15±0.60), which was higher than that in the control group (90.05±0.71), and the difference was statistically significant ( P=0.030). In the experimental group, 95.0%(19/20) of the medical students affirmed the MDRs model, and 100% of them thought it was necessary to introduce this model in clinical teaching. Conclusion:MDRs are patient-centered, emphasize interdisciplinary cooperation, and are operable, which deepens the understanding of medical students on urological diseases, promotes the exchange of clinical teaching experience between urology and interdisciplinary research, and improves the quality of teaching.
