This report describes and presents an evaluation of the undergraduate component of the Cancer Education Program at The Bowman Gray School of Medicine. New learning objectives on cancer were introduced into the second and third year of the Medical School curriculum. A twenty-five question multiple choice examination measured the accomplishment of the new objectives. Students in the class of 1985, who did not receive instruction on the new objectives as part of their formal medical education, served as a control. Students in the classes of 1986 and 1987, who respectively received partial and full exposure to the new objectives, served as experimental groups. Despite limitations in the evaluation procedure, data obtained from the study suggested the possibility of a small but meaningful increase in overall knowledge and specific gains in both students' knowledge and their perceptions of being better prepared to deal with psychosocial aspects of cancer.
本报告描述并呈现了对鲍曼格雷医学院癌症教育项目本科部分的评估。关于癌症的新学习目标被引入到医学院课程的二年级和三年级。一场包含25道选择题的考试衡量了新目标的达成情况。1985届的学生未将新目标的教学作为其正规医学教育的一部分,作为对照组。1986届和1987届的学生分别部分和全面接触了新目标,作为实验组。尽管评估程序存在局限性,但从该研究中获得的数据表明,学生的整体知识可能有小幅但有意义的增加,并且在学生的知识以及他们认为自己在应对癌症心理社会方面准备更充分这两方面都有具体收获。
