포스트 코로나 시대 준비를 위한 임상실습 교육 고찰

Abstract

Objectives This study aimed to examine clinical clerkship education in the COVID-19 era and gather fundamental information for setting the direction of clinical clerkship education in the post-COVID era.
 Methods This study focused on the minutes of the ‘Clinical clerkship Advancement Conference’ held in December 2022 and the ‘2023 Clinical clerkship Improvement Plans’ submitted by each clinical clerkship department at E-Medical School in Seoul. The study employed the Focused Group Interview analysis method.
 Results First, when examining the factors that influenced clinical clerkship education during the COVID-19 peri-od, a total of 8 categories and 17 subcategories were identified in two domains: positive factors of clinical clerkship education and negative factors of clinical clerkship education. Second, when examining the improvement plans for clinical clerkship education in preparation for the post-COVID era, a total of 6 categories and 23 subcategories were derived from three domains: efforts for pre-implementation education improvement, efforts for operational improvement of clinical clerkship education, and long-term improvement. Third, when exploring the requirements for clinical clerkship in the post-COVID era, a total of 6 categories and 11 subcategories were identified in two do-mains: recommendations for clinical clerkship education in the post-COVID era and necessary support for clinical clerkship education in the post-COVID era.
 Conclusions This study examined the clinical clerkship education conducted during the COVID-19 period and de-rived implications for improving clinical clerkship in the post-COVID era. The findings of this study will serve as foundational data for future improvements in clinical clerkship education and ultimately contribute to enhancing the quality of clinical clerkship education.
