Medical education has tended to focus primarily on the biomedical aspects of care while neglecting the human side of patients and students. To help students become aware of student, patient, and family issues that may impact the doctor-patient relationship, a first-year course was developed.
This course consists of 12 didactic sessions and 10 small-group meetings led by family medicine faculty. Topics include self-assessments, analysis of videotaped doctor-patient interactions, genogram development, and family systems. Students have evaluated the course for content, strengths, weaknesses, and impact.
This course was highly rated by the students. The students reported gaining insight into personal issues that might impact their interaction with patients. Students also became aware of the importance of family issues to their patients' health and well-being.
Through courses like this, students may gain deeper insight into issues that impact them, their patients, and the doctor-patient relationship.
医学教育往往主要侧重于医疗的生物医学方面,而忽视了患者和学生的人文层面。为帮助学生意识到可能影响医患关系的学生、患者及家庭问题,开设了一门一年级课程。
本课程包括12次理论教学课和10次由家庭医学教员主持的小组会议。主题包括自我评估、医患互动录像分析、系谱图绘制以及家庭系统。学生对该课程的内容、优点、缺点及影响进行了评估。
该课程得到学生的高度评价。学生报告称对可能影响他们与患者互动的个人问题有了更深入的了解。学生们也意识到家庭问题对患者健康和幸福的重要性。
通过这样的课程,学生可能会对影响他们自己、患者及医患关系的问题有更深刻的认识。
