Competency in the use of information science and technology (IST) is essential for medical students. This study identified learning objectives and competencies that correspond with low self-assessment related to use of IST and factors that improve such self-assessment among medical students.
A questionnaire was administered to sixth-year medical students across 82 medical schools in Japan between November 2022 and February 2023.
Three learning objectives were identified as difficult for the students to achieve: (1) provide an overview of the regulations, laws, and guidelines related to IST in medicine; (2) discuss ethical issues, such as social disparities caused by the digital divide that may arise in the use of IST in medicine; and (3) understand IST related to medical care. Further, problem-based learning, engaging with IST beyond class, and learning approach impacted the students' acquisition of competencies related to IST. Furthermore, it was recognized that the competencies required by medical students may change over the course of an updated medical school curriculum.
It is important for medical students to recognize the significance of learning, establishing active learning methods, and gaining experience in practically applying these competencies.
医学学生必须具备信息科学与技术（IST）的使用能力。本研究确定了与学生自身评估中 IST 使用能力较低相关的学习目标和能力，以及可以提高这些自我评估的因素。
2022 年 11 月至 2023 年 2 月期间，在日本的 82 所医学院向六年级医学生发放问卷。
有三个学习目标被确定为学生难以实现：（1）提供与医学中 IST 相关的法规、法律和指南的概述；（2）讨论可能因医学中 IST 使用而产生的数字鸿沟等伦理问题；（3）了解与医疗保健相关的 IST。此外，基于问题的学习、超越课堂的 IST 参与以及学习方法都影响了学生获取与 IST 相关的能力。此外，还认识到医学生所需的能力可能会随着更新后的医学院课程的进行而发生变化。
医学生认识到学习的重要性、建立积极的学习方法以及获得实际应用这些能力的经验非常重要。
