Community Diagnosis Fieldwork as Job Training for New Employees of a Community Hospital: SDH Education for an Inter-Professional Group / 医学教育

ABSTRACT

We reviewed the Community Diagnosis Field Work (CDFW) that we have been working on since 2004 at the local general hospital and examined the possibility of Social determinates of health (SDH) education. A multi-professional group consisting of 6-8 new employees, surveyed the community for several months with the help of support staff, and presented the results. Many of the previous surveys were eventually related to SDH. In the questionnaire after the presentation, many learners cited multidisciplinary learning as their own achievements, and support staff cited many studies on SDH. Among doctors, 70% felt that the experience of this CDFW was "helpful" for their medical care, and specifically mentioned that they learned "multi-professional collaboration" and "the importance of knowing the community" . "Teaching is learning" is also important in SDH education.
