강의계획서에 기반한 의과대학 교육과정 분석

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the syllabi of all courses in the A Medical School curriculum, including basic medicine, preclinical, clinical practice, medical humanities and social sciences, and student research programs. The purpose is to evaluate the appropriateness of each component and utilize the results as a basis for curriculum improvement. The main research findings are as follows. First, the curriculum objectives present clinical competence, competence as a medical scientist and educator, and competence as a professional and leader in order to achieve the graduation outcomes of the medical school. However, there are not many courses dealing with professional and leadership competencies in the basic medicine and preclinical education courses, so they need to be strengthened through curriculum improvement. Second, various teaching methods such as lectures, PBL, practice, discussion, and presentation are utilized. Appropriate teaching methods are used according to the characteristics of each course. Third, student assessment is conducted through written exams, assignments, practice, and learning attitude to evaluate knowledge, skills, and attitude. Written exams, learning attitude, and attendance are mostly included in all courses. Fourth, feedback is an essential element of competency-based education. A Medical School plans feedback for each course, and the feedback plan was more than 80%. When feedback was planned as a group, it mainly consisted of quizzes and problem solving, and the proportion of individual feedback was high in the clinical practice and student research courses. Although most courses have feedback plans, it is necessary to specify the timing and method of feedback. Through the results of the study, it was confirmed that the A Medical School curriculum has a foundation for competency-based education, but some courses need improvement. It is expected that the quality of medical education will be improved if the syllabi are appropriately established and implemented in the future.
