Health professions educators are increasingly recognizing the fundamental role the arts and humanities play in professional identity formation; however, few reports exist of programs designed specifically for pre-health professional students.
We designed and delivered four, 2.5-h sessions for pre-health professions students at a local museum in partnership with museum educators. Participants were invited to respond to a follow-up survey asking about their perceived insights from and importance of the session. We used descriptive statistics and thematic content analysis for quantitative and qualitative data, respectively.
Ten of the participants responded to the survey (n=10/23, response rate=43%) and all supported the integration of such an experience in their pre-health curriculum. The qualitative analysis of responses to the open-ended item about any insights gained from participation in the program revealed three themes: cultivation of the health professional, personal growth, and awareness and appreciation of multiple perspectives.
Participants who responded to our survey drew meaningful connections to the relevance of these sessions to their development as future professionals.
健康职业教育工作者越来越认识到艺术和人文学科在职业身份形成中所起的重要作用;然而,专门为健康专业预科学生设计的项目报告却很少。
我们与博物馆教育工作者合作,在当地一家博物馆为健康专业预科学生设计并开展了四次时长为2.5小时的课程。邀请参与者参与一项后续调查,询问他们对课程的见解及课程的重要性。我们分别对定量和定性数据使用描述性统计和主题内容分析。
10名参与者回复了调查(n = 10/23,回复率 = 43%),所有人都支持将此类体验纳入他们的健康预科课程。对关于从参与该项目中获得的任何见解的开放式问题的回复进行定性分析,揭示了三个主题:健康专业人员的培养、个人成长以及对多种观点的认识和欣赏。
回复我们调查的参与者将这些课程与他们作为未来专业人员的发展的相关性建立了有意义的联系。
