Evaluation of curriculum setting and outcome of intensive training for clinical endocrinologists
Abstract
Objective In order to meet the needs of endocrinology and metabolism specialists and so to improve the level of diagnosis and treatment, short-term intensive training was organized and its outcome was evaluated. Methods A short-term intensive training course for endocrinologists was implemented and the course evaluation form was designed by vote of WeChat.The learning results were statistically analyzed. Results The short-term intensive training course for endocrinologists were divided into 6 categories and covered by courses, including thyroid diseases (4), metabolic bone diseases (4), glucose, lipid and uric acid metabolic diseases (8), hypothalamic-pituitary diseases (9), adrenal diseases (5), and clinical reasoning training courses (5). All courses were completed in 6 days. The results were presented in both categories and ratings. The results of the category included “very satisfied”, “average” and “unsatisfied”, and the percentage of the number of voters was counted respectively. The five-points system was adopted for ratings, and the average score of all voters was calculated. Participants generally had high satisfaction with the course (average score: ＞4.5), and the evaluation results were 78.2%~100% in “very satisfied” and 0~21.8% in “average” category. Higher requirements for the teaching quality of common diseases (dissatisfaction rate of the trainees: 1.19%~2.30%), higher satisfaction for difficult and rare diseases (average score of 7 courses: 5). Conclusions The curriculum of endocrinologist clinical training should be developed to meet the needs of clinical work. It is necessary to develop a stratified training syste, divrsified teaching forms and quantitative course evaluation methods.
