Description
Summary:During the 2 weeks emergency medicine posting at faculty of medicine UKMMC, medical students were exposed to the core elements of emergency medicine such as principles of hyperacute early resuscitation, pre-hospital care, principles of disaster response medicine and medicolegal issues pertaining to emergency practice. The Subject was delivered using simulation-based education (SBE) either with high-fidelity simulators or simulated patients and scenario based learning (SBL). At the end of the posting we conducted a cross sectional questionnaire-base study of which 170 medical students participated. A four sections validated questionnaire using a 5-point Likert scale and one section of yes-no binary response was developed in order to evaluate the posting. The results were analyzed descriptively according to the sections. Medical students rated their lectures with the median score of 5/5 in term of explaining point, sharing opinion, able to stimulate interest among students & maintain good pace of course. The result also shows no median score difference between lecturers performance and learning contents. Overall, more than 80% of the students confidently achieve the learning objectives and meet the expectation end of posting. However, in term of duration of posting they only score 3/5 since they felt it is a bit too short and wanted the posting to be extended to 3 or 4 weeks. Overall, the medical students were satisfied with the posting course.Click here and insert your abstract text.
