In medical practice physicians need both vocational and generic competences. The importance of generic competences In medical undergraduate curriculum is often poorly appreciated.
We assessed by questionnaires the opinions of medical students of the importance of generic competences in medical practice and of their anticipated development during undergraduate medical education in the University of Turku.
Students thought that application of medical knowledge in practice, information acquisition, independent working and problem solving skills are important in medical practice and are also well-handled in undergraduate education. On the other hand, students felt that competences, like coping at work, tolerance of uncertainty and organizing skills are often needed in medical profession, but are insufficiently considered in basic education.
The balance between importance in medical practice and educational development of generic competences should be more explicitly considered in undergraduate medical teaching.
在医疗实践中,医生既需要专业能力,也需要通用能力。通用能力在医学本科课程中的重要性常常未得到充分重视。
我们通过问卷调查评估了图尔库大学医学生对通用能力在医疗实践中的重要性以及在本科医学教育期间其预期发展的看法。
学生们认为医学知识在实践中的应用、信息获取、独立工作和解决问题的能力在医疗实践中很重要,并且在本科教育中也得到了很好的培养。另一方面,学生们觉得诸如工作应对能力、对不确定性的容忍度和组织能力等能力在医学职业中经常需要,但在基础教育中却未得到充分考虑。
在本科医学教学中,应更明确地考虑通用能力在医疗实践中的重要性与教育发展之间的平衡。
