Purpose: Medicine requires uniquely high levels of motivation, ethics, and altruistic values and behavior. This study was conducted to redefine character education in medical education and to identify and evaluate the core elements of physicians’ character.Methods: A 3-round Delphi survey was conducted among professors of medical education, physicians, experts from nursing schools, and a head nurse in Korea. A consultant group (CG) was formed to prepare the Delphi survey, discuss the research results, and set directions for future initiatives. The 3 rounds of the Delphi survey were conducted between September 2018 and February 2019.Results: From the first-round Delphi survey, which inquired about the 10 key character elements required for medical students, a total of 420 elements were collected. The top 10 categories were selected and classified. After the second and third rounds of the Delphi consensus process and a series of CG meetings, the following 8 core categorical elements were identified: service and sacrifice, empathy and communication, care and respect, honesty and humility, responsibility and calling, collaboration and magnanimity, creativity and positivity, and patience and leadership. The average score of medical graduates for the core elements ranged from 2.45 to 3.46 (standard deviation, 0.23–0.60) on a 5-point Likert scale.Conclusion: Eight core categorical elements of the character of medical students were identified. The results of this study can be used as a reference for establishing the goals and desired outcomes of character education at the level of undergraduate or graduate medical education.

An analysis is presented of the numbers of medical students in South African medical schools and of medical graduates produced annually. The data are analyzed according to ethnic groups. It is shown that gross discrepancies exist, and that black (African) and “Colored” sectors of the population are seriously underrepresented. This pattern is found for the total number of medical students; the ratio of number of medical students in each ethnic group to the total population of that group; the number of medical schools to which blacks may, in terms of the government's apartheid policy, be freely admitted; the absolute numbers of medical graduates drawn from each ethnic group and the percentage of the total number of medical practitioners stemming from each population group; and the ratio of the numbers of medical graduates in each ethnic group to the total population of that group. No matter which yardstick is employed, marked discrepancies are apparent. It is maintained that the separate and inferior schooling system for blacks, under the apartheid policy, is not providing suitably qualified medical student material from the African and “Colored” population groups; and that the State (under which all South African medical schools fall) has not permitted existing medical school facilities to be freely opened for the medical training of blacks, nor has it made available sufficient facilities for the medical training of blacks. It is concluded that the apartheid policy, with its many ramifications at primary, secondary, and tertiary educational levels, has constituted the most serious setback to medical education in southern Africa. It has left medical education in southern Africa over 30 years behind a point where it could and should have been.

Abstract Purpose Medical education has been transformed during the COVID-19 pandemic, creating challenges regarding adequate training in ultrasound (US). Due to the discontinuation of traditional classroom teaching, the need to expand digital learning opportunities is undeniable. The aim of our study is to develop a tele-guided US course for undergraduate medical students and test the feasibility and efficacy of this digital US teaching method. Materials and Methods A tele-guided US course was established for medical students. Students underwent seven US organ modules. Each module took place in a flipped classroom concept via the Amboss platform, providing supplementary e-learning material that was optional and included information on each of the US modules. An objective structured assessment of US skills (OSAUS) was implemented as the final exam. US images of the course and exam were rated by the Brightness Mode Quality Ultrasound Imaging Examination Technique (B-QUIET). Achieved points in image rating were compared to the OSAUS exam. Results A total of 15 medical students were enrolled. Students achieved an average score of 154.5 (SD ± 11.72) out of 175 points (88.29 %) in OSAUS, which corresponded to the image rating using B-QUIET. Interrater analysis of US images showed a favorable agreement with an ICC (2.1) of 0.895 (95 % confidence interval 0.858 < ICC < 0.924). Conclusion US training via teleguidance should be considered in medical education. Our pilot study demonstrates the feasibility of a concept that can be used in the future to improve US training of medical students even during a pandemic.

Preliminary Study

This preliminary study aims to determine how medical students perceive character education in Korea. A structured survey questionnaire to 10 medical students was conducted between September and December 2018. Out of them, 6 students replied. Students’ responses were classified into elements which were also categorized. Twenty-nine core elements of characters in 8 categories were verified that are essential for doctors and the need for character education. The most frequently suggested categories were “care and respect”, “empathy and communication”, and “responsibility and calling”. Participants also said that various forms of character education are necessary and that they were not satisfied with the character education regarding teaching methods. The results verified the character traits that are most essential for doctors and problems related to current character education. The above results will be helpful to prepare the character education curriculum in medical schools.

Anatomy is indeed the core of scientific knowledge that has been crucial in medical education for decades. Without its discernment way thoroughly and enormously, the medical student would get to rocky on diagnosing the patient's disease or other clinical cases. Conceivably, studying anatomy has been very tangled for most of the medical students, and for that reason, it is needed a require to produce compatible anatomy textbook. General anatomy textbook or commonly entitled as RAUL (Rangkuman Anatomi Umum Lengkap), is an anatomy learning textbook that was well-produced by the Anatomy Departement of Faculty of Medicine, Sebelas Maret University. This book has been one of a kind and has become the main source for the student to learn anatomy material. Furthermore, even though this book has been at the bits of students for the last few years, it still needed some evaluations. This research aim is to analyze the content advisability from the general anatomy textbook "RAUL" in chapter two, the fourth edition, 2019. This research encompasses qualitative techniques with data-analysis approaches. Content advisability is being judged based on three indicators, such as (1) the suitability of the material description with KI and KD, (2) the accuracy of the material, and (3) supporting learning material. Given data shows that this textbook is compatible as a main source of anatomy learning with a value of 91,7% according to twelve indicators that represent the competence of the textbook. It is hoped that this study provides measurable benefits and evaluations for subsequent anatomy textbooks and can contribute to anatomical learning.

The Core Competency Project (CCP) is an initiative to reexamine fundamental recurring issues in Canadian medical education, including: (1) premature career decision making by medical students, (2) barriers to changing career disciplines by residents and practicing physicians, (3) lack of clarity on the role of “generalism” in medical training, and (4) the optimal structure and function of the PGME system. The CCP is a collaborative national endeavour of The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada and the College of Family Physicians of Canada. From 2005 to 2007, the CCP employed four primary methods, including: (1) a systematic review of relevant literature, (2) a series of commentary papers by leaders in medicine and medical education, (3) a series of focus groups across Canada involving medical students, residents, and practicing physicians, and (4) a national survey of stakeholders. This was supplemented by consultations with key groups in the medical profession. We describe the findings of these studies and the implications for medical education policy in Canada and around the world. The CCP is an unprecedented national medical education policy initiative.
