Abstract

A curriculum summary developed to assist program officials and faculty of this medical technology program in meeting the American Medical Association Committee on Allied Health Education and Accreditation requirements as enumerated in the Essentials of an Accredited Educational Program for the Medical Technologist is described. After developing this curriculum summary, the faculty and program officials reaped unanticipated benefits from this summary. The curriculum summary aided the faculty and program officials in assuring that there was agreement between cognitive, affective, and psychomotor terminal behavioral objectives with instructional activities and methods of student evaluation. The psychomotor terminal behavioral objectives were modified and utilized as the basis for criterion-referenced, pass/fail laboratory practicals. Finally, the curriculum summary provided a rapid means of review for the curriculum review committee.

Effect of doctors' ethnicity and country of qualification on prescribing patterns in single handed general practices: linkage of information collected by questionnaire and from routine data.

OBJECTIVES: To test whether Asian general practitioners who qualified in the Indian subcontinent prescribe items more often, more expensive items, and fewer generic drugs than their British trained Asian and non-Asian counterparts. DESIGN: Linkage study using data collected by questionnaire and from routine sources. SETTING: General practices in England. SUBJECTS: 155 single handed general practitioners: 42 Asian doctors qualified in United Kingdom (group 1), 58 white doctors qualified in United Kingdom (group 2), and 55 Asian doctors qualified in Indian subcontinent (group 3). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Prescribing cost (cost per ASTRO-PU), prescribing frequency (number of items per ASTRO-PU), and generic prescribing (percentage of drugs prescribed that are generic). RESULTS: Doctors in group 1 were significantly younger than those in the other groups and had a higher proportion of patients who were from deprived wards. There was no difference between the groups in the proportion of female doctors and total list size. After adjustment for confounding factors, there were no significant differences between the three groups for prescribing cost (16.58 (95% confidence interval 6.39 to 26.77) for group 1, 17.31 (6.92 to 27.69) for group 2, 17.80 (7.22 to 28.38) for group 3, P = 0.55); prescribing frequency (6.58 (4.60 to 8.40), 6.45 (4.70 to 8.30), 7.89 (6.16 to 9.64), P = 0.34); and generic prescribing (44.44 (38.95 to 49.93), 47.41 (42.12 to 52.70), 44.04 (38.75 to 49.33), P = 0.37). CONCLUSIONS: Asian doctors qualified from the Indian subcontinent did not differ from British trained doctors in their prescribing practice. This study refutes the common belief that Asian doctors are high volume and high cost prescribers.
