Implementing competency-based medical education in diagnostic radiology residencies will change the paradigm of learning and assessment for residents. The objective of this study is to evaluate medical student perceptions of competency-based medical education in diagnostic radiology programs and how this may affect their decision to pursue a career in diagnostic radiology.
First-, second-, and third-year medical students at a Canadian university were invited to complete a 14-question survey containing a mix of multiple choice, yes/no, Likert scale, and open-ended questions. This aimed to collect information on students' understanding and perceptions of competency-based medical education and how the transition to competency-based medical education would factor into their decision to enter a career in diagnostic radiology.
The survey was distributed to 300 medical students and received 63 responses (21%). Thirty-seven percent of students had an interest in pursuing diagnostic radiology that ranged from interested to committed and 46% reported an understanding of competency-based medical education and its learning approach. The implementation of competency-based medical education in diagnostic radiology programs was reported to be a positive factor by 70% of students and almost all reported that breaking down residency into measurable milestones and required case exposure was beneficial.
This study demonstrates that medical students perceive competency-based medical education to be a beneficial change to diagnostic radiology residency programs. The changes accompanying the transition to competency-based medical education were favored by students and factored into their residency decision-making.
在放射诊断学住院医师培训中实施以能力为基础的医学教育将改变住院医师的学习和评估模式。本研究的目的是评估医学生对放射诊断学项目中以能力为基础的医学教育的看法，以及这如何影响他们选择放射诊断学职业的决定。
邀请加拿大一所大学的一年级、二年级和三年级医学生完成一份包含多项选择、是/否、李克特量表和开放式问题的 14 个问题的调查。这旨在收集有关学生对以能力为基础的医学教育的理解和看法，以及向以能力为基础的医学教育过渡将如何影响他们进入放射诊断学职业的信息。
该调查分发给 300 名医学生，收到 63 份回复（21%）。37%的学生对放射诊断学感兴趣，从感兴趣到承诺不等，46%的学生报告了解以能力为基础的医学教育及其学习方法。70%的学生报告放射诊断学项目中实施以能力为基础的医学教育是一个积极的因素，几乎所有人都报告说，将住院医师培训分解为可衡量的里程碑和所需的病例接触是有益的。
这项研究表明，医学生认为以能力为基础的医学教育是放射诊断学住院医师培训项目的有益改变。与向以能力为基础的医学教育过渡相关的变化受到学生的青睐，并影响他们的住院医师决策。
