Answer 2

Answer:

Medical education is nowadays justifiably considered to be the most challenging field of scientific research. New innovative teaching techniques and instructional methods are being gradually implemented in several University Medical Schools all over the world. It is believed that a doctor’s capability of successfully coping with urgent medical conditions and effectively carrying out practical medical procedures depends to a great extent on the presence or absence of practical orientation during his basic medical training. Thus, health professionals and specialists of the educational process are presently familiarizing with new teaching protocols that oppose to what has been established so far, deviate from conventional methodologies such as plain theoretical lectures with no practical component and are related to digital forms of educational technology that are mainly computer-assisted. The extent to which the implementation of these tools in the Hellenic Medical Education system has provided improved outcomes in terms of students’ clinical skill attainment remains, however, unclear.

According to the regional compulsory medical education curriculum, undergraduate cardiology training is limited to a one-month period, which takes place during the fifth year of medical studies (the total duration of medical studies is 6 years). The schedule includes a combination of tutorials-case discussion and clinical practice from 8:00 am to 13:30 pm three times a week. During this period, students visit in rotation several sub-departments of the clinic, such as the echocardiography department, the outpatient clinics, the catheterization laboratory and the coronary intensive care unit.

The objective of this study is to estimate whether attending a practical cardiology course of one-month duration can actually improve undergraduate fifth year medical students’ self-reported performance efficiency in terms of five basic cardiological clinical skills.
