Abstract

In Oslo, instruction in medical psychology and sociology is to be widened to include approximately one term's training during the first year of study, in other words about 200 hours in all. An institute for medical behavioural sciences is to be established. Group training is being planned, and attempts will be made to create clinical relevance by linking up the instruction with everyday situtations met by the doctor.

Emergency medicine in Belarus.

Belarus is a small eastern European nation between Poland and Russia. Except for the lingering effects of Chernobyl radiation contamination, its system of health care and, in particular, emergency care has received little attention in the world literature. Emergency medical care is organized similarly to that provided in Russia and other European countries. A well-coordinated Emergency Medical Services (EMS) system exists, and many ambulance teams include a physician. Most emergency care is provided in an area of the hospital designated as the reception area, the equivalent of a U. S. emergency department (ED). Unlike the practice in U.S. EDs, many patients have a minimal evaluation after admission to the actual ward or hospital ICU. Emergency Medicine has not been officially organized as a specialty. Opportunities exist for interchange and discussion on the delivery of emergency care.

Training Hungarian primary health care teachers: the relevance of a UK postgraduate course for health educators.

OBJECTIVES: This study constituted a formative evaluation of the relevance of the MSc course to the needs of Hungarian primary health care educators. DESIGN: A qualitative, naturalistic approach using in-depth interviews was used to construct the meaning of the experience of the MSc for the Hungarian participants. Interviews were triangulated using observation and documentary analysis. SETTING: The University of Exeter's Institute of General Practice. SUBJECTS: Eight Hungarian primary health care professionals. RESULTS: The evaluation data revealed that the attitude of the Hungarian students to their role as medical educators had been substantially changed by exposure to western models of adult education. There were a number of 'clashes of expectation' between the Hungarian students and the course staff in relation to the course requirements. Reconciliation of these differing expectations required a sequence of ongoing adjustments to the course content and delivery. CONCLUSIONS: Existing postgraduate courses for health educators can accommodate the needs of medical teachers from countries who are developing their primary health care education systems. Successful accommodation is facilitated by ensuring an adequate preparation in relation to language fluency, academic requirements of the course, familiarization with modern approaches to adult education as well as with the local health care delivery system.
