Students' Surgical Experiences in a Distributed Model of Clinical Education: A Mixed-Methods Sequential Case Study.

Journal of Surgical Education
Xiaomei Song, Steve Vance

Abstract

Equal opportunity to learn has received much attention in higher education. Ensuring students' comparable educational experiences in the surgical clerkship can be challenging, especially when considering multiple sites in multiple regional medical campuses (RMCs). This study examined whether students were provided with comparable learning opportunities across different campuses/sites and what factors impacted students' educational experiences during the surgical clerkship. A mixed-methods explanatory sequential approach was used to elicit students' experiences. The study involved the separate data collection and analysis by first using a survey questionnaire, followed by focus groups. The quantitative phase provided a general understanding of students' experiences, and the qualitative data and analysis refined and further explained statistical results by exploring students' perceptions in much more depth. The responses to the Likert-scale survey items were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test and the qualitative responses were analyzed through a standard qualitative thematic inductive coding approach. The distributed clinical medical education program of College of Medicine, Central Michigan University, adopted a wide range o...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
