Medical education has observed numerous reforms in the last hundred years. While most of the reforms are applied to the undergraduate teaching, postgraduate education and training have lagged behind in keeping the pace. Anesthesiology curriculum has witnessed a few new methods inducted into practice like problem-based learning, flipped classroom etc. We introduced vertical integration with anatomy at our department and assessed its impact.
After a five-week schedule of integrated anatomy classes, a self-structured questionnaire was circulated amongst the 41 anesthesiology residents to know their perceptions and attitudes towards the classes. Their suggestions were also sought. The responses were analyzed with descriptive statistics (percentages).
Thirty-six responses were received leading to a response rate of 87.8%. Fourteen residents (38.9%) believed that the integrated classes would be very helpful in their clinical practice, 20 (55.5%) residents believed them to be helpful while two (5.5%) residents believed that the classes would be little helpful in clinical practice. Hundred percent of the residents recommended the classes to be continued for the future batches. Half of the residents wanted the classes to be conducted twice in the three-year tenure (in the first and last semester) while 11 (30.5%) residents wanted the classes to be conducted every year. Seven (19.4%) residents thought that it's enough to conduct the classes once during the three-year tenure. Resident's suggested that they would like to have integrated classes with other departments like physiology, radiology, emergency medicine etc.
The integrated classes with anatomy were well perceived by the anesthesiology residents. Vertically integrated curriculum should be introduced in postgraduate training of various specialties for better education and hence, better patient care.
在过去的一百年里，医学教育经历了无数次改革。虽然大多数改革都应用于本科教学，但研究生教育和培训在跟上步伐方面却滞后了。麻醉学课程已经见证了一些新方法被引入实践，如基于问题的学习、翻转课堂等。我们在本部门引入了解剖学的纵向整合，并评估了其影响。
在为期五周的解剖学综合课程安排之后，向41名麻醉学住院医师发放了一份自行编制的问卷，以了解他们对这些课程的看法和态度。我们还征求了他们的建议。对这些回答进行了描述性统计分析（百分比）。
共收到36份回复，回复率为87.8%。14名住院医师（38.9%）认为综合课程对他们的临床实践非常有帮助，20名（55.5%）住院医师认为有帮助，而两名（5.5%）住院医师认为这些课程对临床实践帮助不大。100%的住院医师建议为未来的批次继续开设这些课程。一半的住院医师希望在三年任期内开设两次（在第一和最后一学期），而11名（30.5%）住院医师希望每年开设。7名（19.4%）住院医师认为在三年任期内开设一次就足够了。住院医师建议他们希望与生理学、放射学、急诊医学等其他科室开设综合课程。
麻醉学住院医师对解剖学综合课程评价良好。应在各专业的研究生培训中引入纵向整合课程，以实现更好的教育，从而提供更好的患者护理。
