Abstract:

Objective To assess the teaching quality of medical students from the consistent 8-year programme of Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine. Methods The scale questionnaire based on six aspects of Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) model was prepared. A total of medical students from the 8year programme who enrolled between 2005 and 2012, 86 undergraduate or graduate medical students, and 10 medical teachers of Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine were surveyed. Results The total score and score of problem solving and clinical skills of male students from 8-year programme were higher than those of female students and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Scores of problem solving and clinical skills and systematic practice ability of students from 8-year programme increased with their grade (P<0.05). The total score of students from 8-year programme was higher than that of undergraduate or graduate students with the same grade (P<0.05). The assessment of students from 8-year programme by teachers was basically consistent with the results of students' self-assessment and the score of problem solving and clinical skills was high (P<0.05). Conclusion The clinical ability of students from 8-year programme of Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine is verified, but they still lack clinical experience.
