The fourth-year medical student elective in clinical genetics has been enhanced by the addition of a problem-solving project. The assignment requires students to pose and answer a practical question about a professionally relevant genetic problem. Exemplary questions and the details of the exercise are given. Six of 10 students choosing an elective in clinical genetics have undertaken the project. Their feedback suggests that the requirements of decision making, library research, discussion with consultants, and medical writing in a limited time period are beneficial additions to the standard elective.
临床遗传学专业四年级医学生选修课通过增加一个解决问题的项目得到了强化。该作业要求学生提出并回答一个与专业相关的实际遗传学问题。文中给出了示例问题及练习细节。选择临床遗传学选修课的10名学生中有6名参与了该项目。他们的反馈表明,在有限时间内进行决策、图书馆研究、与顾问讨论以及医学写作等要求是对标准选修课有益的补充。
