Professional competence is important in delivering high quality patient care, and it can be enhanced by reflection reflective discourse e.g. mentoring groups. However, students are often reluctant though to engage this discourse. A group program involving all preclinical as well faculty members co-mentoring clinical was initiated at Witten-Herdecke University. This study explores both the attitudes of those towards such a factors that might hinder or enhance how qualitative design applied...

Objectives: To compare the effect of student examiners (SE) to that faculty (FE) on examinee performance in an OSCE as well post-assessment evaluation area emergency medicine management.Methods: An test-format (seven stations: Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), Basic (BLS), Trauma-Management (TM), Pediatric-Emergencies (PE), Acute-Coronary-Syndrome (ACS), Airway-Management (AM), and Obstetrical-Emergencies (OE)) was administered 207 medical students their third year training after they...

Mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets, and laptop computers enable users to search for information communicate with others at any place time. Such are increasingly being used universities teaching learning. The use of mobile by students depends, among others, on the individual media literacy level curricular framework.The objective this study was explore whether there were differences in from various curricula Faculty Health, Witten/Herdecke University.During 2015-16 winter term, a...

The ototoxicity of occupational exposure to toluene below 50 p.p.m. was investigated in a longitudinal study over 5 yr with four repeated examinations starting 333 male workers from rotogravure printing plants. Past lifetime weighted average exposures (LWAE) and noise were determined individual work histories; recent measured 10 times during the (toluene, active sampling; noise, stationary measurements). auditory thresholds pure tone audiometry. mean LWAE 45 ± 17 plus 82 7 dB(A) for printers...

Abstract Low stakes assessment without grading the performance of students in educational systems has received increasing attention recent years. It is used formative assessments to guide learning process as well large-scales monitor programs. Yet, such suffer from high variation students’ test-taking effort. We aimed identify institutional strategies related serious behavior low provide medical schools with practical recommendations on how effort might be increased. First, we identified...

Introduction: Both formative and summative assessments have their place in medical curricula: assessment to accompany the learning process ensure that minimum standards are achieved. Depending on conditions of undergraduate training, feedback, students more or less importance assessment, thus fulfilment its function may be questionable. This study describes how low-stakes Berlin Progress Test (BPT) is embedded at two faculties with partially different framework what effects these students'...

Boor et al developed and validated the questionnaire D-RECT (Dutch Residency Educational Climate Test ) to measure clinical learning environment within medical specialist training. In this study, a German version of (D-RECT German) is analyzed regarding testtheoretical properties.Are results replicable as proof for validity D-RECT?The study was performed online survey using (50 items in 11 subscales). To determine item characteristics internal consistency (Cronbach's α), item- reliability...

Students can improve the learning process by developing their own multiple choice questions. If a similar effect occurred when creating OSCE (objective structured clinical examination) stations themselves it could be beneficial to involve them in development of stations. This study investigates students emergency medicine on test performance. In 2011/12 winter semester, an was held for first time at Faculty Medicine University Leipzig. When preparing OSCE, 13 (the intervention group)...

Not least the much-invoked shortage of physicians in current and next generation has resulted a wide range efforts to improve postgraduate medical training. This is also focus healthcare policy debate. Furthermore, quality scope available training are important locational advantages competition for doctors. study investigates preferences concerns that German house officers (HOs) have about their It highlights how HOs evaluate learning environment.HOs were asked answer question: "Which things...

Possible effects of long term occupational exposure to toluene below the level 100 ppm on psychomotor performance and subjective symptoms were investigated in a cross sectional approach.From German rotogravure printing plants 278 male workers, mean age 39.8 years, duration employment 14.9 examined. A lifetime weighted average (LWAE) 45.1 ambient air was found for 154 exposed workers (rotogravure area), with current 24.7 ppm. The corresponding data second group 124 very low (endprocessing...

Physicians' attire seems to play an important role in the success of patient treatment. The classic doctor's white coat initiates a strong signal and can have determining effect on successful doctor-patient relationship. In quantitative online questionnaire study comprising 52 questions, participants were shown four photos interprofessional German family medicine team varying attire. One feature relating ongoing coronavirus pandemic was that portrayed wearing FFP2 masks one photo. We...

Evaluation of the effectiveness clinical teaching is an important contribution for quality control medical teaching. This should be evaluated using a reliable instrument in order to able both gauge status quo and effects instruction. In Stanford Faculty Development Program (SFDP), seven categories have proven appropriate: Establishing Learning Climate, Controlling Teaching Session, Communication Goals, Encouraging Understanding Retention, Evaluation, Feedback Self-directed Learning. Since...

Summary. Industrial exposure varies distinctly both between persons and for each person over time. It is often not possible to measure individual repeatedly due high costs. Therefore, a method assessment of needed that accounts inter‐ intraindividual variability. We consider strategy suggested by Preller et al. (1995, Scandinavian Journal Work, Environment, Health 21 , 504–512), the idea which predict on several days via linear model using additional variables as regressors. Those are easier...

The aim of the study was to examine effect an elaborate feedback and audience response system (ARS) on learning success.Students 1st clinical semester were randomly assigned a control group. randomization carried out considering factors age, gender power spectrum during preliminary dental examination. Within 10 lectures 5 multiple-choice questions asked about objectives answered by students using ARS. Only group received immediate comprehensive results. A final exam at end in order evaluate...
