摘要

简介:紧急医疗服务(EMS)专业人员与几乎所有类型的医生互动,是整个医疗保健领域的关键利益相关者。然而,没有正式的国家建议存在医学生关于EMS的教育。当寻找机构级资源来协助撰写医学生EMS选修课的教育目标和课程内容时,可用于指导的示例有限。我们设计、实施并评估了为期两周的医学生EMS选修课。详细介绍了如何创建EMS选修课的实用描述。方法:EMS选修课包括一个入门课程,一个操作方向,和六个救护车班次。自我指导的活动和清单鼓励电话之间的跨学科学习。此外,学生还将提供一个案例演示,包括一个改善跨学科沟通的例子。在选修课之前和之后,除了正式的标准课程评估外,还会分发自愿匿名调查。结果:2017-2022年共有37名学生参加了选修课。34人(92%)提交了选修课前的调查,21人(57%)提交了选修课后的调查。Mann-Whitney U检验显示,在选修课程结束后,不同水平的EMS执业人员和不同类型的医疗监督能力的理解有所提高(前中位数=60%,后中位数=90%,U=118, p)。结论:使用性学和有意的跨学科交流的EMS选修课程似乎有助于提高医学生对EMS实践基础的理解。

Creation and Implementation of an EMS Elective for Final-Year Medical Students: A 5-year Evaluation.

Introduction: Emergency medical services (EMS) professionals interact with nearly every type of physician and are key stakeholders across the healthcare spectrum. However, no formal national recommendations exist for medical student education about EMS. When looking for institution-level resources to assist in writing the educational objectives and curricular content for an EMS elective for medical students, limited examples are available for guidance. We designed, implemented, and evaluated a two-week EMS elective for final-year medical students. A pragmatic description of how to create an EMS elective is detailed.

Methods: The EMS elective involves an introductory session, an operational orientation, and six ambulance shifts. Self-directed activities and checklists encourage interdisciplinary learning between calls. Additionally, students deliver a case presentation including an example for improved interdisciplinary communication. Before and after the elective, a voluntary anonymous survey is distributed, in addition to a formal standard course evaluation.

Results: From 2017-2022, 37 students participated in the elective. Thirty-four (92%) submitted the pre-elective survey, and 21 (57%) submitted the post-elective survey. Mann-Whitney U testing suggested an improved understanding of the capabilities of different EMS practitioner levels and of the different types of medical oversight after the elective (median pre=60%, median post=90%, U=118, P<0.001). Qualitatively, students described their experiences as "practical," "hands-on," and "eye-opening."

Conclusion: An EMS elective using andragogy and intentional interdisciplinary communication seems useful in facilitating improved understanding of the fundamentals of EMS practice for final-year medical students.
