摘要

急诊医学是乌干达的一门新兴专业。目前没有正式的EM本科课程。姆巴拉拉科技大学急诊医学兴趣小组(MUST-EMIG)的成立就是为了弥补这一差距。本次调查旨在评估MUST-EMIG的贡献。本研究的目的是:发现学生加入MUST-EMIG的原因;评估学习急救医学的兴趣是否受到MUST-EMIG参与的影响;在加入MUST-EMIG之前和之后,评估将急诊医学作为专业的计划;确定MUST-EMIG是否影响了学生对急救医学在乌干达医疗保健系统中重要性的认知;并从学生那里获得关于他们作为MUST-EMIG成员的经验的反馈。MUST-EMIG的成员被要求自愿参加在线调查。使用描述性统计和专题分析对调查结果进行了总结。结果收集并分析了49份回复(回复率46.7%)。参与者包括29名(59.2%)男性和20名(40.8%)女性医学生。大多数参与者是四年级学生22名(44.9%)。44名(89.8%)学生加入MUST-EMIG学习如何处理医疗紧急情况,并表示希望在利用MUST-EMIG提供的机会后,至少有6/10的学生学习更多关于急救医学的知识。总的来说,学生们对MUST-EMIG有着良好的体验。他们报告说,我们的兴趣小组为他们提供了网络、独特的学习和领导机会。患有EMIG会显著影响学生追求急诊医学职业的愿望以及他们对急诊医学相关性的看法。讨论EMIG有助于培养医学生对急诊医学的兴趣。对急诊医学充满热情的学生需要得到支持,以帮助他们保持和进一步发展这种热情。

The role of emergency medicine interest groups in the development of emergency medicine: A case of Mbarara University of Science and Technology—Emergency Medicine Interest Group (MUST-EMIG) in Uganda

Introduction

Emergency medicine (EM) is a new specialty in Uganda. There is no current formal EM undergraduate curriculum. The Mbarara University of Science and Technology Emergency Medicine Interest Group (MUST-EMIG) was established to bridge this gap. This survey was done to assess the contributions of MUST-EMIG. Objectives of the study were to: discover students' reasons for joining the MUST-EMIG; assess whether interest in learning emergency medicine was affected by participation in MUST-EMIG; evaluate plans to pursue emergency medicine as a specialty before and after joining MUST-EMIG; determine whether MUST-EMIG affected students’ perception of emergency medicine's importance in Uganda's health care system; and elicit feedback from students on their experience as members of MUST-EMIG.

Methods

The MUST-EMIG executive developed a membership survey which was reviewed by MUST-EMIG's faculty advisor for suitability. Members of MUST-EMIG were voluntarily asked to participate in the online survey. Results of the survey were summarized using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis.

Results

49 responses (46.7% response rate) were collected and analyzed. Participants included 29 (59.2%) male and 20 (40.8%) female medical students. The majority of participants were fourth year students 22 (44.9%). 44 (89.8%) students joined MUST-EMIG to learn how to handle medical emergencies, and expressed a desire of at least 6/10 to learn more about emergency medicine after utilizing opportunities provided by MUST-EMIG. Overall, students had a good experience with MUST-EMIG. They reported that our interest group had provided them networking, unique learning, and leadership opportunities. Having an EMIG significantly affects students’ desire to pursue a career in emergency medicine and their perception of the relevance of emergency medicine.

Discussion

An EMIG helps develop interest of medical students in emergency medicine. Students passionate about emergency medicine need to be supported to help them preserve and further develop this passion.
