Faculty have traditionally taught the physical examination (PE) to novice medical students (pre-clerkship students.), despite recruiting and cost issues and problems standardizing their approach.
We present a model using standardized patient instructor (SPI)-fourth year medical student (MS4) teams to teach PE to pre-clerkship students, leveraging the benefits of co-teaching and peer-assisted learning.
Surveys of pre-clerkship students, MS4s and SPIs indicate positive perceptions of the program, including MS4s reporting significant growth in their professional identities as educators. Pre-clerkship students' performance on the spring clinical skills exams was equivalent to or better than their peer performance pre-program implementation.
SPI-MS4 teams can effectively teach novice students the mechanics and clinical context of the beginners' physical exam.
尽管在招聘和成本方面存在问题,并且难以标准化教学方法,但教师传统上一直向医学新手(即预科学生)教授体检(PE)。
我们提出了一个使用标准化患者指导员(SPI)-四年级医学生(MS4)团队来向预科学生教授 PE 的模型,利用共同教学和同伴辅助学习的优势。
对预科学生、MS4 和 SPI 的调查表明,他们对该计划的看法积极,包括 MS4 报告称他们作为教育者的专业身份有了显著的提升。预科学生在春季临床技能考试中的表现与他们在实施该计划之前的同学表现相当或更好。
SPI-MS4 团队可以有效地向新手学生教授基本体检的操作方法和临床背景。
