Recently, there has been a growing interest in how a physician's professional identity is shaped by education and experience. Objectives: This study aimed to illuminate the role of experience in shaping the professional identity of Tehran University of Medical Sciences medical residents. Methods: Eighteen 26 - 40 years old residents (male and female) in four Major specialty groups, including obstetrics and gynecology, surgery, and internal medicine, participated in this qualitative content analysis study. Sampling was done in four specialty hospitals of Tehran University of Medical Sciences. Data were gathered through semi-structured in-depth interviews and analyzed by conventional content analysis. Results: Results showed four main categories of effective experiences in Shaping of residents' professional identity formation, including interpersonal communication experiences, independent professional work, general medical education course, knowledge, and educational background.in this study also, sub-categories extracted from the findings were: (1) Forced scheme; (2) symbolic events; (3) learnt competencies of GP; (4) beneficial reforms and integration in general medical education; (5) the education quality level among families; and (6) the education quality level among schools and institutes. Conclusions: This study demonstrated that the previous unique constructive experiences of assistants are one of the most important underlying factors in shaping their professional identity. Interpersonal communication experiences, independent professional work, general medicine training courses, and knowledge and educational background are the unique experiences of any assistant. By creating constructive experiences, it is possible to positively affect the formation of the professional identity of the assistants so that they can be accountable to society.","PeriodicalId":30594,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Education Development","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72737046","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate educators’ and trainees’ viewpoints on virtual education for community health workers (CHWs) at Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences. Methods: Using the consensus method, we conducted this cross-sectional study among 50 instructors and 150 CHW trainees of education programs at the Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences during 2020 - 2021. Educational materials were provided for learners virtually according to weekly scheduled programs. District Behvarz training center (DBTCs) tried to share educational videos during the period to provide practical training. In addition, clinical placements were considered for learners to facilitate gaining experience in the work environment. During the third trimester of a combined educational program, a 32-item questionnaire including six dimensions of educational design: Learner-instructor interaction, learner-learner interaction, course content, learning opportunities, and course evaluation was used to collect data. The tool was developed based on the criteria for evaluating the quality of e-learning in medical education mentioned by Hakimzadeh and Afandideh. Data was analyzed using SPSS software version 20.0. Results: The participants were quite satisfied with almost all aspects of education. According to the trainers’ and learners’ perspectives, the greatest and lowest scores were in learner-instructor and learner-to-learner interactions, respectively. Students’ scores on online education were higher. Conclusions: It is critical to move to hybrid courses and online learning to take advantage of virtual education and improve the learning process through learning strategies, as well as provide trainees with flexibility through distance learning.","PeriodicalId":30594,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Education Development","volume":"92 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85678187","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is a modification of the team-based learning (TBL) developed by Dr. Larry K. Michaelson, who explored the benefit of small group learning within large classes. TBL differs from other forms of small group work, which involves developing and using learning teams in large settings as an instructional strategy. Objectives: The main difference between conventional TBL and MTBL is that students learn in small groups in a single large class with a single facilitator in conventional TBL. In contrast, in MTBL, students learn in separate small classes with different facilitators. In this study, we investigated the impact of MTBL on the learning of students in an orthopaedic course. Students’ satisfaction and grades, following the MTBL for an orthopaedic class, were analyzed and compared to another batch of students in a conventional lecture learning strategy. The two batches were taught by the same faculty members. Methods: The MTBL was implemented as a teaching method in orthopaedics and traumatology course in 2020. A total of 282 students were surveyed for their satisfaction with this new pedagogical approach, and 153 students responded to the questionnaire. We adopted a self-administered questionnaire answering on a five-option Likert scale. The five options represented the levels of agreement. At the end of the course, students’ exam scores were compared to the results of their previous batch, in which teaching was carried out utilizing conventional lectures only (a total of 128 students). Results: The results showed that the majority of the students involved in the study (66.5%) were satisfied with the MTBL. The students thought that it increases the long retention of knowledge and should be used more frequently in the curriculum, and they recommend it to other students. The analysis of the examination results using the Chi-square test revealed a significant difference between the results of the students who studied the course in the form of MTBL and those who studied the course in the form of a traditional lecture with a clear improvement in the results following MTBL orthopaedic course (P-value = 0.0000). Conclusions: We, therefore, conclude that the MTBL where students are divided into separate small groups with different instructors improves the performance and the grades of the students in the exam. It also reveals that the students feel satisfied with the learning technique. We recommend it be more frequently used in the curriculum.","PeriodicalId":30594,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Education Development","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89681128","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
