What Does a Modern Anatomist Look like? Current Trends in the Training of Anatomy Educators

Anatomical sciences are foundational to the health professions, yet little is known about the qualifications of anatomy educators at the graduate and professional level in the United States. Moreover, there is concern that the number of qualified anatomy educators being trained may be insufficient to meet the growing demand posed by new and expanded programs in medicine and allied health specialties. The authors surveyed anatomists from across the country to (i) characterize the educational credentials of current anatomy educators and (ii) assess the perceived need for education-focused postdoctoral positions or formal mentorships to prepare anatomists for teaching-intensive faculty positions. To probe the survey responses more deeply, one-on-one interviews were conducted with eight individuals selected to represent a diverse sample of respondents in terms of institution, gender, and academic rank. Results indicate that 30–40% of educators at the graduate level and approximately 60% of those at the undergraduate level lack graduate coursework in histology, embryology, and neuroanatomy. Forty-five percent of respondents had completed a postdoctoral fellowship. Eighty-six percent replied “yes/maybe” to the question of whether an anatomy education postdoctoral fellowship would benefit doctoral graduates. The top 3 reasons for this recommendation were to (i) establish independent educational research, (ii) improve a publication record, and (iii) gain additional teaching experience. Notable weaknesses of education-focused postdoctoral training were related to finances, fear of exploitation, and undervaluing of teaching. Moving forward, postdoctoral fellowships and other forms of postgraduate training may represent a key strategy for training anatomists in the current educational climate.

The Role of Anatomy Computer-Assisted Learning on Spatial Abilities of Medical Students

Currently, medical education context poses different challenges to anatomy, contributing to the introduction of new pedagogical approaches, such as computer-assisted learning (CAL). This approach provides insight into students' learning profiles and skills that enhance anatomy knowledge acquisition. To understand the influence of anatomy CAL on spatial abilities, a study was conducted. A total of 671 medical students attending Musculoskeletal (MA) and Cardiovascular Anatomy (CA) courses, were allocated to one of three groups (MA Group, CA Group, MA + CA Group). Students' pre-training and post-training spatial abilities were assessed through Mental Rotations Test (MRT), with scores ranging between 0-24. After CAL training sessions, students' spatial abilities performance improved (9.72 ± 4.79 vs. 17.05 ± 4.57, P < 0.001). Although male students in both MA Group and CA Group show better baseline spatial abilities, no sex differences were found after CAL training. The improvement in spatial abilities score between sessions (Delta MRT) was correlated with Musculoskeletal Anatomy training sessions in MA Group (r = 0.333, P < 0.001) and MA + CA Group (r = 0.342, P < 0.001), and with Cardiovascular Anatomy training sessions in CA Group (r = 0.461, P = 0.001) and MA + CA Group (r = 0.324, P = 0.001). Multiple linear regression models were used, considering the Delta MRT as dependent variable. An association of Delta MRT to the amount of CAL training and the baseline spatial abilities was observed. The results suggest that CAL training in anatomy has positive dose-dependent effect on spatial abilities.

高职与本科新生攻击倾向的比较研究

采用AQ攻击性问卷,对本科与高职的655名新生进行问卷调查。结果显示,12.83%的学生AQ总分在中等以上;高职生高分检出率高于医学生;在身体攻击、愤怒因子及总分上与医学生差异非常显著。研究表明,被试总体攻击倾向低于成人平均水平,学业成绩可能是导致两所学校新生攻击倾向差异的重要中介变量。

基于《医疗法规与医患沟通》课程进行“早期接触临床”的教学实践与思考

《医疗法规与医患沟通》课程目标是培养医学生对患者及其家属进行有效沟通的能力和对医疗相关法规理解、掌握并应用的能力,最终获得医疗相应岗位的职业沟通技能和职业法律素养,为将来从事医疗服务工作奠定扎实的基础。＂早期接触临床＂的初衷包括培养医学生与病人的交流沟通能力,这与本课程的开设目的一致。将两者有机结合更有助于培养学生的职业素质,激发学习兴趣,达到教育教学改革的目的 。     

后期教学中的医学人文教育探索

培养具有良好人文素质的合格医学人才已成为医学发展的必然和需要。后期教学中,应着力培养医学生的道德感和责任感,将医学人文教育全方位渗透到临床教学和医疗实践中去。     

An empirical study of the antecedents of data completeness in electronic medical records

There is a body of research that highlights the role of data management to improve the quality of data, which in return improves organizational performance. The literature in data management has indicated the five theoretical constructs used to understand the factors influencing data quality, including top management support, capability on the regulation and process management, business-IT alignment, staff participation, and integration of information systems. However, it is unclear how these theoretical constructs can be utilized to understand the antecedents of data completeness as a dimension of data quality. Following that stream of research, the current paper examines the factors influencing data completeness in electronic medical records (EMR). The scope of this study is by only surveying medical professionals at healthcare settings in northern Nevada. The empirical results reveal that resources should be added as one of the antecedents of data completeness in EMR.     

浅谈微博在尿沉渣形态学教学改革中的作用

伴随医学检验专业改制(五年学制改为四年制),教学学时也相应缩减,在此形势下,如何保持教学质量尤其是尿沉渣形态学教学质量成为目前教改的焦点。利用微博建立尿沉渣形态学线上教学互动平台就可解决这一问题,教改实践证明:这样不仅保持了教学质量,学生对形态学的学习兴趣也提高了。
