An exploration of the training and evaluation systems of medical undergraduates in the context of tutorial system

Abstract

Objective To investigate the training process of clinical practice ability in medical undergraduates in the context of tutorial system, as well as new clinical training models and evaluation methods. Methods A total of 40 medical undergraduates who entered the stage of clinical practice were randomly divided into tutorial group and control group, with 20 undergraduates in each group. A diversified evaluation system was used to perform a comprehensive evaluation of clinical practice ability of medical undergraduates at different stages, with a combination of professional theory examination, Mini-Clinical Evaluation Exercise, Direct Observation of Procedural Skills, and clinical case report. All the data were analyzed by SPSS 23.0, t test was used for statistical analysis. Results Compared with the control group after the internship ended, the tutorial group had significantly higher scores of clinical professional theory(86.24±2.93), clinical practice ability (7.53±0.48), clinical operation skills (4.35±0.47), and clinical thinking ability (6.31±0.52) (all P<0.05). Conclusion The application of the tutorial training mode during the internship of medical undergraduates can improve their comprehensive qualities such as professional quality, medical theory, and practical skills. The diversified evaluation system can evaluate the teaching effect and reflect the cultivation of comprehensive quality among students.
