摘要

Objective

To document performance and satisfaction of medical students in a short course on liaison psychiatry.

Methods

The emphasis in this optional course is placed on the discussion of clinical cases, bed-side clinical teaching, and a research-oriented part. The "Innovative Teaching Plan" (ITP) is intended to train student-leaders to guide small groups (SG) of students. Trainee performance was assessed by the marks in the final examination, and a reliable and valid tool, the Medical Teaching Quality Questionnaire (MTQQ) was used to document trainee satisfaction. The results of four academic courses are presented in this report.

Results

External experts consulted assured that the content of the course was adequate. It has been completed by more than 200 medical students, and high marks have been obtained by most. Above average scores (AA, 鈥渉igh鈥?or 鈥渧ery high鈥? were given by substantial proportions of students in most items, related to the 鈥渞elevance鈥?of the subject, the 鈥渦sefulness of the clinical cases鈥?or the "enhancement of student-teacher interaction". Compared to the first academic course, students鈥?satisfaction has improved. "Enhancement of a researcher's mind" was rated AA by 61.1%of students in the last academic course, and "global satisfaction" by 88.8%.

Conclusions

Good performance and high satisfaction of medical students was documented in a course on liaison psychiatry. Lessons may be drawn to inform about efficient and effective ways of teaching and learning this subject.
