This paper reviews some of the developmental procedures regarding changes in Medical Education within the Faculty of Medical Sciences, University of the West Indies. Discussed are some of the constraints experienced in attempting curriculum changes in the established Medical School at Mona, Jamaica, as compared with the implementation of a Problem-based Learning Strategy curriculum at the Eric Williams Medical Complex, St. Augustine, Trinidad and Tobago. At Mona, integration of disciplines, Community-health and other programmes were attempted. However, it was at the Eric Williams Complex, a new school, that the Faculty of Medical Sciences was able to implement a problem-based programme.
本文回顾了西印度群岛大学医学科学院内医学教育变革的一些发展历程。文中讨论了在牙买加莫纳的老牌医学院尝试进行课程变革时所遇到的一些限制,将其与特立尼达和多巴哥圣奥古斯丁的埃里克·威廉姆斯医疗中心实施基于问题的学习策略课程的情况进行了对比。在莫纳,曾尝试进行学科整合、社区健康及其他项目。然而,正是在新建的埃里克·威廉姆斯医疗中心,医学科学院得以实施基于问题的课程。
