A newly developed problem-based medical genetics course that was integrated into the fourth-year medical school curriculum of the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio is described. To provide a basic genetic background for the clinical rotations, a supplemental computer tutorial is required during the second year. These two formats prepare the medical students to recognize genetic diseases, to provide basic genetic counseling in their daily practice, and to appropriately refer patients to genetic specialists.
本文描述了一门新开发的基于问题的医学遗传学课程,该课程已纳入圣安东尼奥德克萨斯大学健康科学中心医学院四年级的课程体系。为了给临床轮转提供基本的遗传学背景知识,二年级学生需要学习一门补充性的计算机辅导课程。这两种教学形式使医学生能够识别遗传疾病,在日常实践中提供基本的遗传咨询,并适当地将患者转诊给遗传专家。
