A theory–based trial for improving both economic growth and medical education in a university hospital / 医学教育

ABSTRACT

1）We instituted the “CHANGE Nagasaki University Hospital” project to improve both management and medical education and to boost the number of physicians recruited to this hospital.<br>2）We first identified the physicians’ problems and complaints via a questionnaire. Next, focusing on the most common complaints, we reduced secondary duties and methodically improved the educational environment by employing the a– b–c–d–strategy, which is based on the principles of medical education.<br>3）As a result, both, the hospital’s economic growth and the recruitment figures for resident physicians have increased continuously over the past 4 years.
