Cross-sectional Study of the Educational Roles of Residents in the New Medical Specialty Program / 医学教育

Background: Although there is a growing momentum in Japan to expect residents to play an educational role, the guidelines are still unclear. Objective: The purpose of this study is to examine the characteristics and contents of teaching roles for residents in the new curriculum of each specialty program and uncover current issues. Methods: Two researchers independently searched for and determined the wording related to teaching in the program for all 19 specialties. The research team extracted the relevant issues. Results: Seventeen of the 19 programs included a statement on educational roles for their residents, but almost all of the programs did not include educational competencies and any specific strategy to achieve it. Discussion: The definition of educational competencies and the development of methods to acquire the competencies are issues for the future. It is necessary to develop and expand programs for the Residents-as-Teachers program in Japan.

Effectiveness of an educational session to sensitise the resident medical officers of a medical teaching institute in Mumbai towards cadaveric organ donation

Background: Resident medical officers play a critical role in facilitating conversion of potential deceased donors to actual donors. Since residency is the last opportunity for formal medical training, we contemplated deficiencies in knowledge might originate and a session of sensitization would disseminate updated information about organ donation. This study aims to assess the change in the knowledge and attitude of resident doctors towards organ donation after a programme of sensitization.Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted in March 2018 among newly inducted resident medical officers of KEM Hospital, Mumbai, after obtaining the institutional ethical approval and written informed consent. Using complete enumeration, 75 newly inducted resident doctors were approached out of which 49 consented to participate in the study. A self-administered questionnaire was used to assess the knowledge and perception before and after a programme of sensitization using a pre-test post-test study design.Results: Few numbers (18.36%) of resident doctors were aware of the various terminologies related to organ donation. There are lacunae in knowledge about difference between brainstem death, cardiac death and the organs that can be donated in each case. Moreover, participants who were initially unwilling to pledge for organ donation, were ready to pledge their organs post the sensitisation session (Z=-3.162, p=0.002).Conclusions: Participants knowledge improved over the programme of sensitization.

Discussion on the strategy of standardized resident training model of vascular ultrasonogra-phy / 中华医学教育探索杂志

Resident doctor is the beginning period of a doctor career. Resident standardization training is the basement period for the clinical ability training and is the important part for medical students after graduation education. Vascular ultrasonography belongs to ultrasound medicine and has its own discipline characteristics. The diagnosis accuracy of vascular ultrasonography largely depends on the accumulation of basic knowledge of multiple clinical sciences , standardization of operation techniques and especially the accurate application of hemodynamic theory. According to the discipline characteristics of vascular ultrasonography, we train the residents from the following five aspects: basic theory knowledge, operation techniques, clinic thinking ability, sciences research ability, communica-tion and team work ability. On the basis of practice, we explore the establishment of standardized training mode for medical professionals of vascular ultrasnography in China, training practical, innova-tive and independent talents, to provide reference for improving the professional level of vascular ultra-sound in our country.

Application of case-based learning in training vascular surgery resident doctors / 中华医学教育探索杂志

Objective To explore the application and effect of case-based learning(CBL)in vas-cular surgery clinical teaching. Methods Totally 37 resident doctors were randomly divided into 2 groups respectively: CBL teaching group (n=21)and traditional teaching group (n=16). CBL teaching was con-ducted through the following procedures:selecting typical cases-establishing and applying typical case library-autonomous learning-holding regular seminars. Traditional teaching was conducted through the following procedures: basic theory studying-participating in clinical practice-participating in case discus-sion. Evaluation was conducted based on test socre (written test and clinical operational skill test)and res-idents' feedback of teaching effect. Data were statistically described and independent sample t test was performed. Results Theoretical exam score and clinical skill test score were high in CBL group than in traditional group ((thoretical score:(85.53 ±1.75) vs. (79.94 ±2.29);clinical skill test score:(85.10±1.64)vs.(80.31±1.82)). CBL teaching group had advantages in improving learning efficiency, cultivat-ing clinical thinking,promoting mastery and application of knowledge,broadening knowledge, promoting communication and expression ability and improving study enthusiasm ,et al . Conclusion CBL teaching can effectively improve the teaching quality and obtain higher evaluation. Typical case li-brary should be constantly improved and education of vascular surgical basic theory should be strength-ened to promote CBL.

Work related stress and its anticipated solutions among post-graduate medical resident doctors: A cross-sectional survey conducted at a tertiary municipal hospital in Mumbai, India.

Context: It is now known that resident doctors registered for postgraduate studies are prone to work related stress and eventual burnout. Though stress can happen in any profession, reduced performance of resident doctors due to vocational stress could cause an increase in medical errors and thus affect the quality of life of the patients. Resident doctors at a Municipal hospital in India form a unique population as number of stresses they undergo are many and varied. Aims: To study the prevalence of work-related stress and its anticipated solutions among the resident doctors registered for postgraduate studies in clinical subjects at a tertiary Municipal hospital. Settings and Design: A stratified sampling cross-sectional survey was conducted at the Inpatient, Outpatient, and Intensive Care Units at a tertiary Municipal hospital in Mumbai, India. Material and Methods: Data collection was done using a validated 20-point questionnaire to assess the factors causing stress and their anticipated solutions. Statistical Analysis: Simple percentage analysis of stress questionnaire. Results: 71 resident doctors completed the survey. The major stressors in this cohort were inadequate hostel/quarter facilities (92.1%), and the need to perform extra duties (80.0%). Also, non-conducive environment for clinical training and studies (81.7%), inadequate study (78.9%) and break (81.2%), threat from deadly infections (74.6%), and overburdening with work (69.0%) were the other major stress causing factors. The perceived stress busters were good music (40.8%) and family and friends (40.8%). Eighty-seven percent of the respondents perceived regular physical exercise to be an effective mode of stress management and 83.8% expressed their need to have a simple therapeutic gymnasium established within the campus with a qualified trainer. Conclusions: There is a high level of work related stress among the resident doctors registered for postgraduate clinical studies at a tertiary Municipal hospital in Mumbai. One of the perceived stress busters is regular physical exercise that is structured and under supervision.
