Questionnaire Survey and Analysis of the Current Status of Clinical Teaching Work Among Young Physicians in the Internal Medicine Department of a Provincial Affiliated Hospital
Objective:This study aims to investigate and analyze the involvement of young physicians in the Internal Medicine Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine in clinical teaching.Methods:A questionnaire survey was conducted among full-time teaching physicians in internal medicine and young clinical physicians working in the internal medicine wards from June 2020 to June 2021.Results:The interest in teaching scored(8.69±1.07)for full-time teaching physicians and(7.33±1.31)for young clinical physicians(on a scale of 0~10).The main reasons for participating in teaching included mutual learning,interest in teaching,and a sense of accomplishment from teaching.The greatest difficulty faced by full-time teaching physicians was the pressure of clinical research,which left insufficient time for teaching(84.62%).The most desired support included more flexible teaching methods(69.23%)and a greater impact of teaching work on performance evaluations(53.85%).For young clinical physicians working in the wards,the biggest challenges were also clinical research pressure(76.09%)and a lack of student motivation(69.57%).They most wanted support in improving the impact of teaching on performance(86.96%)and more flexible teaching methods(82.61%).Conclusion:Most young physicians in internal medicine show a high level of enthusiasm for clinical teaching.Medical schools should help young physicians balance clinical work,research,and teaching by adjusting incentive mechanisms and providing targeted teaching training.
