Abstract
In order to solve the shortage of competent healthcare manpower at the village level of Yunnan Province, We compared the training mode of Kunming Medical University and The Medical Educational Center, Hat Yai of PSU. The aim of this study is to compare the difference of the two institutions and learn from each other's advantages. The review covered relevant policy areas and stipulations governing general practitioner training for both countries. Qualitative research was done by using a questionnaire developed in house by the project team, students from the inaugural cohort at KMU and students from the MECH. In Qualitative research, in-depth interviews were carried out with the teaching administration and students from both schools. In Kunming Medical University, besides the conventional lectures, teaching methods such as case based learning and problem based learning have been worked into the basic science, laboratory, and clerkship/internship sessions. The desired end product is a general practitioner. The curriculum emphasizes general practice and clinical exposure during the course being guided and informed by the "Undergraduate Medical Education Standard-Clinical Medicine" and the "General Practitioner Training Guidelines" about teaching methods. In Prince of Songkla University, the first and second phases consist of basic science and preclinical integrated topics taught at PSU. For the third and final phase, the students have core clinical modules and selective at MECH where the methods are learner centered, problem based, integrated and set in the context of community primary healthcare practice. We should start with the integration of the medical disciplines and the humanities, so as to restore the lost "art of doctoring". We need to integrate the various foundational and clinical disciplines into an organ system based curriculum, not just in form, but also in function and purpose.
Highlights
In order to solve the shortage of competent healthcare manpower at the village level of Yunnan Province, We compared the training mode of Kunming Medical University and The Medical Educational Center, Hat Yai of Prince of Songkla University (PSU)
In June 2010, the policy was issued by the China government, which covered two areas of developing a general practitioner: led primary healthcare system, and the fully subsidized medical training of manpower earmarked for service at the rural primary healthcare level.[1]
The qualitative research was conducted in two sites Kunming Medical University (KMU) of China and Medical Education Centre (MECH), Hatyei of Prince of Songkla University (PSU) of Thailand which were selected according to similar location service function and economic development level
Summary
In order to solve the shortage of competent healthcare manpower at the village level of Yunnan Province, We compared the training mode of Kunming Medical University and The Medical Educational Center, Hat Yai of PSU. The proportion of graduated medical students who went back to countryside has risen from 23% in 1994 to 31.5% in 2001.4 In order to be familiar with the work environment, the students did their intern in their work place after graduation. This project increases the proportion of rural origin greatly.[5]
