Teaching of clinical pathology to medical students has been ignored in many countries such as Iran. We aim to introduce a practical brief course and its proper timing.
Three groups of medical students from consecutive years of entrance passed a 1.5 working day practical course on the field. Their level of knowledge was assessed by pre- and post-tests. Their idea and satisfaction were gathered by questionnaires.
Knowledge of students became significantly higher after the course. Their satisfaction was high. Students in later year of education got significantly higher marks. Most of the students wished such a course should be away from basic sciences period and as near as possible to internship.
Due to overloaded curriculum of general medicine in Iran, we decided to run a brief practical course of laboratory medicine education for medical students. Although the course was practical, the knowledge of students became higher. Students with more clinical experience and knowledge absorbed more. Being actively involved in the classes lit the enthusiasm of students and made them satisfied with the course. It seemed that the course should be placed in later years of clinical training to get the best uptake and results.
在伊朗等许多国家,医学生临床病理学教学一直被忽视。我们旨在介绍一门实用的简短课程及其合适的开课时间。
连续入学年份的三组医学生参加了为期1.5个工作日的该领域实践课程。通过课前和课后测试评估他们的知识水平。通过问卷调查收集他们的想法和满意度。
课程结束后,学生的知识水平显著提高。他们的满意度很高。高年级学生的成绩显著更高。大多数学生希望这样的课程应远离基础科学阶段,尽可能接近实习阶段。
由于伊朗普通医学课程负担过重,我们决定为医学生开设一门简短的检验医学教育实践课程。尽管该课程注重实践,但学生的知识水平仍有所提高。临床经验和知识更丰富的学生吸收得更多。积极参与课堂激发了学生的热情,使他们对课程感到满意。似乎该课程应安排在临床培训后期,以获得最佳的接受度和效果。
