Constructing the Whole Process Management Practice Program to Improve the Surgical Clinical Skills of Medical Undergraduates
Clinical practice is a crucial part of the training course for medical students.Owing to the rapid expansion of clinical disciplines toward refinement and specialization,medical undergraduates face problems such as inadequate coverage and a single assessment method during the clinical internship,which may influence the quality of clinical skills studied during the internship.This study was intended to summarize the experience gained by the department of surgery at West China Hospital,Sichuan University through the execution of a comprehensive process management practice program of clinical internship for the medical students.In the practice of internship education reform,the department of surgery first implement task decomposition for all of the basic surgical skills in each surgical department,and also create conditions for full coverage of students'skills training,such as professional teachers,modern training equipment,and special training venues.In addition,the department of surgery reformed the assessment mode of the surgical internship,changing a single assessment to a multiple assessment method.Through these reforms,it will help improve the effectiveness of clinical medical students in surgical internship and enhance the quality of surgical internship teaching.
