Abstract |
To find out the different cognition of the members of medical school about the importance of graduate outcomes such as 'clinical performance, communication, supporting patients, professionalism, problem solving and research, self-development', a survey applied with self-report method was conducted with 110 faculties, 132 students (71 premedical 2nd graders and 61 medical 2nd graders), and 30 parents about graduate outcomes and sub-outcome competences. Parents usually thought highly of the importance of graduate outcomes, while medical second graders comparatively regarded them as less important. Among graduate outcomes, 'clinical performance' was definitely considered the most important and was followed by 'communication'. As for 'self-development', parents and premedical 2nd graders regarded it as important, while faculty and medical 2nd graders had lower awareness about its importance. As to the suboutcome competences, faculty generally had lower awareness about their importance compared to students and parents. |
