In recent years, the system of standardized resident training has been set up and improved gradually in our country.However, the medical specialist training system for neurosurgeons is still at the stage of exploration.It is important to cultivate and select the best neurologic surgery specialists in China.Mayo Clinic is one of the best teaching hospitals in the United States, which has been ranking the second in the United States for the recent 20 years.Analyzing the neurologic surgery specialist training program of the world's top hospital and learning from its advanced experiences are beneficial for the establishment of medical specialist training system and the production of the highest caliber neurosurgeons in the Department of Neurosurgery in West China Hospital of Sichuan University.The Department of Neurosurgery in West China Hospital of Sichuan University is advantageous in its advanced technology and equipment, sufficient operations, rich teaching resources and independent laboratories.Our goal is to establish strict accessing, management and assessment system, perfecting security and feedback system, focusing on the cultivation of humanistic spirit, building neurosurgery specialist personnel, and establishing a unique brand of West China in the field of teaching.
We summarized and analyzed the researches of the workshop on Evidence-Based Medicine for Medical Editors which was recently held concerning its teachers, training method, trainee distribution and recent progress. We hope to provide a new approach to improving the level of medical editors and clinical trials.
Objective Through investigating and analyzing the training status quo of rural doctors in Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture of Sichuan province, to find out problems existing in the training. Methods In October 2010, the on-site questionnaires were distributed to 300 rural doctors from 13 counties who were studying at medical schools of Liangshan Prefecture. The data of their training status were recorded with Epidata 3.0 software and then analyzed with SPSS 16.0 software. Results Among the total 300 questionnaires distributed, 279 were valid with the response rate of 93%. The results showed that: rural doctors in Liangshan Prefecture were generally low in education background and short of knowledge and skills, and took over the burden of the training tuition; and the training content was not fully correlated with theirs actual demands. Conclusion This paper suggests, the in-service training should be conducted on the following bases: the actual situation of Liangshan Prefecture, the adequate consideration of characters of minority region, the improvement of training quality, and the formulation of supporting policies and implementing methods.
Objective To explore the mental health status and the relevant influencing factors of the resident standardized trainees, and to provide reference for the psychological intervention. Methods All the resident standardized trainees in a first class of the third grade hospital in Sichuan from July 2012 to August 2015 were investigated by the questionnaire including symptom checklist 90, demographic characteristics and work condition. Results The detection rate of psychological problem among resident standardized trainees was 24.7% which was higher than the general population. The analysis of logistic regression showed that the training grade, identity, work time and working achievement were the main factors related to psychological problems. Conclusions The psychological problems of resident standardized trainees were prominent because they are in a transformation stage from medical students to clinical doctors. The related department should pay more attention and take measures to improve the resident standardized trainees’ mental health.
As the intensity of clinical and research work is high, teaching is gradually paid less attention to and the quality of education cannot be ensured. In this context, a full-time teaching position is set up in West China Hospital which is taken responsibility by qualified clinicians, to improve the teaching quality by strict management and omni-directional teaching. We introduce the setting and running of the full-time teaching position in West China Hospital in this paper.
ObjectiveTo explore the training mode of robotic surgical system for thoracic surgeons.MethodsThirteen surgeons enrolled in the Department of Thoracic Surgery, Ruijin Hospital from May 2015 to December 2019 were targeted for training. Training methods included learning basic knowledge of Da-Vinci robotic system, simulation platform training, physical simulation training, training on animal models, practice of thoracic surgery and video analysis.ResultsThe robotic operation skills of the surgeons were improved. Currently 4 surgeons were qualified for using robotic system to do thoracic surgery, and 9 surgeons had assistant qualification.ConclusionMultiple modes of training can help surgeons learn and master the techniques of robotic surgery, and will provide the basis for robotic training standard.
Objective To study the effect of training methods for hospital infection management that through the whole process of diagnosis and treatment. Methods We selected part-time hospital infection personnel from Panyu Central Hospital of Guangzhou to form a teaching staff between January 1 and October 31, 2022. The teaching staff was randomly divided into a control group and an experimental group using a random number table method. The control group received training using traditional theoretical training models, while the experimental group received training using a simulated hospital infection training teaching model that runs through the entire diagnosis and treatment process. The training effects of the two groups through theoretical knowledge assessment, operational skills assessment, and teacher satisfaction evaluation were compared. Results A total of 196 teachers were included, with 98 students in each group. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of gender, age, education level, major category, professional title, and years of work experience (P>0.05). The total score of theoretical knowledge examination in the experimental group [(88.49±8.33) vs. (80.35±13.57) points, t=5.062, P<0.001] was higher than the control group. Among them, the scores of hand hygiene standards for medical personnel, principles of aseptic operation, occupational exposure disposal, classification and disposal of medical waste were significantly higher than those of the control group (P<0.05). The total score of the operational skills assessment in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group [(86.37±5.25) vs. (76.75±7.07) points, t=10.811, P<0.001], among which the scores during operation, after operation, and overall impression were significantly higher than the control group (P<0.05). The overall satisfaction in the experimental group was higher than that of the control group (94.90% vs. 72.45%, χ2=18.076, P<0.001), among which the satisfaction with training methods, textbook value, course attractiveness, and clinical applicability were higher than those of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusions Through the whole process of diagnosis and treatment training method for hospital infection management can significantly improve the training effectiveness of teachers. It is worth promoting in the teaching of hospital infection management for various levels and types of personnel.
