Abstract
- PURPOSE
The aim of this study was to describe the experience of teaching emergency management and cardiopulmonary resuscitation to medical students in Busan. METHODS: Study participants were 59 medical students in Busan. An eight-day curriculum in the emergency management and cardiopulmonary resuscitation was developed. They completed all class sessions and two drill/practical examinations taught by our interdisciplinary team from July 21 through 30, 2003. Each class is approximately 2 hours and reading assignments are given at the end of each class. Also included are practical, table-top and team-building exercises. The participants completed self-reported questionnaires for the education. RESULTS: About establishment and environment of the education, respondents answered with `very good' were 14%. About overall theoretical lecture, respondents answered with `very helpful' were lower than 40%. Especially, favorable evaluation for the medical lectures was lower than that of other lectures. Students generally enjoyed their emergency medicine experience as it is often their first opportunity to assume primary responsibility for patient care. About overall practices, respondents answered with 'very helpful' were higher than 60%. CONCLUSION: The authors found that medical students prefer opportunities to hone procedural skills than to hear theoretical lectures. Also, medical students are welcome to hear theoretical lectures that consists of emergency management related contents, not academically medical contents. This curriculum should be tailored to fulfill learner's requirements.
