To examine the implementation of a community-based clinical education (CBCE) program at the University of California, Los Angeles School of Dentistry (SOD) and the preliminary outcomes on dental students and affiliated clinics.
A retrospective review was carried out of SOD CBCE program implementation and program data between March 2018 and June 2019 related to patient encounters, pre- and post-rotation student self-assessments, student exit surveys and surveys administered to faculty within affiliate clinics.
In five academic quarters, 133 students delivered care for 7556 patients and completed 12,467 procedures in underserved communities. Students reported increased confidence across 14 areas of self-assessment. The percentage of students reporting future plans of working in public health clinics upon graduation increased from 6% to 19%. Affiliate clinic faculty indicated increased care delivery for underserved patients, appointment availability, and job satisfaction.
The newly implemented UCLA SOD CBCE program preliminarily yielded immediate positive outcomes for SOD students and affiliate community clinics.
考察加利福尼亚大学洛杉矶分校牙科学院(UCLA SOD)社区临床教育(CBCE)项目的实施情况及其对牙科学员和附属临床机构的初步影响。
对 2018 年 3 月至 2019 年 6 月间 SOD CBCE 项目实施情况及项目数据进行回顾性分析,数据内容包括患者就诊情况、学生轮岗前后的自我评估、学生结业调查以及附属临床机构教师调查。
在五个学术季度中,共有 133 名学生在服务欠缺社区为 7556 名患者提供了医疗服务,并完成了 12467 次治疗。学生们在 14 个自我评估领域的信心均有所增强。报告毕业后有意愿在公共卫生诊所工作的学生比例从 6%上升至 19%。附属临床机构的教师表示,为服务欠缺的患者提供医疗服务的数量增加了,预约也更方便,同时对工作的满意度也提高了。
新实施的 UCLA SOD CBCE 项目初步为 SOD 学生和附属社区临床机构带来了积极影响。
