ABSTRACT
Introduction: Triage is the process of determining the priority of patients' treatments based on the severity of their conditions. The aim of the present study was to survey the effect of triage video podcasting on the knowledge and performance of pre-hospital students. Methods: Sixty pre-hospital students were randomly divided into two groups of a 30-subject control group and a 30-subject intervention group. A pre-test was administered among all students. Afterwards, for the first group, triage education was offered through lectures using PowerPoint, while for the second group, audio and video podcasts tailored for this training program were employed. Right after the training as well as one month later, post-tests were run for both groups, and the results were analysed using an independent t-test and covariance.R Results : No significant difference was observed between the effects of both types of education on knowledge and performance, either immediately, or one month after training. Discussion: We suggest that video podcasts are ready to replace traditional teaching methods in triage

Cost-benefit analysis is a scientific method which helps policy makers to select a project among other projects, with the same defined goal, making sure that the chosen project has the maximum benefit with a fixed cost or the minimum cost with a fixed level of benefit. Therefore, universities should consume the resources more carefully and efficiently. This survey was conducted to provide documents for evidence based decision making for policymakers. Having the cooperation of the admission office, the number of medical students was extracted and then with the assistance of university budgeting manager, total costs were extracted regarding education, research, cultural-recreational affairs and management emphasizing on medicine field. Finally, data was analyzed with Excel. Our findings showed that the per capita cost in education was 268.3 million rials, in research, it was 13.25 million rials, and as for cultural-recreational affairs and management, it was 7.4 and 14.45million rials respectively. The sum of per capita costs was 303.4 million rials The calculated cost is fivefold the amount which was allocated as a per capita cost. The total cost of the university was more than the amount allocated by the management and planning organization; this necessitates further revisions in allocating recourses to universities by management and planning organization

O autor analisa a relacao interpessoal que se desenvolve entre aluno e professor ao longo do processo de ensino-aprendizagem. Utilizando dados dos procedimentos de avaliacao utilizados na Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de Sao Paulo, o autor encontrou estreita correlacao estatistica entre a auto-avaliacao dos alunos e a das disciplincas do curriculo, assim como com o desempenho do professor. Mas, a correlacao foi muito pouco significativa entre os valores da auto-avaliacao dos alunos e as notas atribuidas pelos professores.
