To characterize the current landscape of preclinical medical endocrine education in U.S. allopathic medical schools.
U.S. endocrine curriculum directors were asked to voluntarily complete a 16-question email survey surveying the status of endocrine preclinical education at their medical school.
Sixty-nine of 155 (45%) endocrine block director respondents completed the online survey between July 2021 and September 2021. A larger incoming class, a longer duration of the endocrine curriculum, and the offering of a separate endocrine curriculum (ie apart from the teaching of other organ systems) were each independently associated with an increased number of faculty teaching the course. Schools that used a gland-/organ-based curriculum only and those that used a combination of gland-/organ-based curriculum with topic-based curriculum differed significantly in their use of large lectures, small groups, and several curriculum components, including point of care glucose testing, continuous glucose monitoring, and insulin pumps.
This survey study reports the current landscape of preclinical endocrine education in the United States and describes opportunities to improve interest in pursuing endocrinology as a career.
描述美国全科学医学学校医学内分泌学临床前教育的现状。
美国内分泌课程主任被要求自愿完成一份 16 个问题的电子邮件调查，调查他们医学院内分泌临床前教育的现状。
2021 年 7 月至 9 月期间，155 名内分泌学块主任中有 69 名完成了在线调查。较大的新生人数、较长的内分泌课程时间以及提供单独的内分泌课程（即除了教授其他器官系统外）与教授该课程的教师人数增加均独立相关。仅使用基于腺体/器官的课程的学校和使用基于腺体/器官的课程与基于主题的课程相结合的学校在使用大型讲座、小组讨论和几个课程组成部分（包括床边血糖检测、连续血糖监测和胰岛素泵）方面存在显著差异。
这项调查研究报告了美国临床前内分泌教育的现状，并描述了提高对内分泌学作为职业的兴趣的机会。
