Medical studies is a very diverse field of education that seeks to prepare students for a rapidly evolving healthcare market. This study presents the findings of a survey about the perception of medical students about whether they receive training in professionalism and management skills and whether their education prepares them to face the evolving market trends.
This was a qualitative study that used descriptive data obtained via an online survey conducted among medical students via WhatsApp. The sample included 500 students from 10 medical schools across the UK. The survey was divided into three parts: The first part contained questions related to professionalism and the training they received at the basic level. The second part contained questions about management and leadership training for the medical field and whether the students thought it was important for their future. The last part contained questions about whether the students thought that their level of education was competitive enough to ensure their survival in the face of future market trends.
Most students (77%) thought that training in leadership and management skills was necessary to prepare them for the future market, and 68% felt that they were not receiving satisfactory training in leadership and management skills. The students also felt that they need to be taught more about the market and its various changing features. Finally, the majority (62%) of the students felt that their courses did not focus on social and professional skills.
The findings from the survey indicate that there is a clear need for courses on professionalism and management among medical students and that institutes need to keep up with these emerging needs in terms of training.
医学研究是一个非常多样化的教育领域，旨在使学生为快速发展的医疗保健市场做好准备。本研究呈现了一项关于医学生对是否接受专业精神和管理技能培训以及他们的教育是否使他们有能力面对不断变化的市场趋势的看法的调查结果。
这是一项定性研究，使用通过WhatsApp对医学生进行在线调查获得的描述性数据。样本包括来自英国10所医学院的500名学生。调查分为三个部分：第一部分包含与专业精神以及他们在基础层面接受的培训相关的问题。第二部分包含关于医学领域管理和领导力培训以及学生是否认为这对他们的未来很重要的问题。最后一部分包含关于学生是否认为他们的教育水平足以在面对未来市场趋势时确保自身竞争力的问题。
大多数学生（77%）认为领导力和管理技能培训对他们为未来市场做好准备是必要的，68%的学生觉得他们在领导力和管理技能方面没有得到令人满意的培训。学生们还觉得他们需要更多地了解市场及其各种变化特征。最后，大多数（62%）学生认为他们的课程没有侧重于社会和专业技能。
调查结果表明，医学生显然需要专业精神和管理方面的课程，并且院校需要在培训方面跟上这些新出现的需求。
