Undergraduate Education Stategies with Action Plans

Since two years ago Professor Jariya Lertarkayamanee has led the department, she has applied the Thai Quality Criteria to every service unit from operating room service to education to research, and even in the department office.

For the education unit, we have three major teams; one for medical student, while the other two are post-graduate team for residency training and nurse anaesthetist trainee each. We have gathered to put the main objectives for all three teams together but the action plan and those who are responsible for the team are separated.

The goals for education team are as follow
1. The Curriculum has to be up-to-date, and the learners must be happy and smart and competent
2. The support team must be ready as well such as the video, e-learning, the official/ secretary on the job
3. The academic research from the education team

What we have done to improve our course to suit 5th year medical students are as follow:
1. We have change the topic of lecture and add new cases for discussion, bring in some easier cases and keep the more difficult case for consultant to discuss with the learners in the OR. We move a bold step with inducing a simulation teaching into the course, we apply the technique for the subject of complications of anaesthesia instead of lecture we change it to simulation platform.

2. We encourage our medical student to learn from new media, although our team has a facebook page but it is not really formal, some topic has beautiful video clips on youtube, and some topics can be up on the faculty e-learning page, but need some time to finish that. We have already started a book for medical students project, the editorial process is now on. Hopefully we can finish this project on time for the next academic year.

3. The result of a Pretest-Posttest has just been analysed, we will sit down and write something about it.
