Corona affects clinical training of medical students "Patients could not be interviewed" exceeded 70% October 20, 4:40

When a student group investigated the effects of the new coronavirus on clinical training in which medical students are involved in medical treatment of patients in the medical field, it was found that more than 70% of the students answered that they could not interview patients. I did.

This survey was conducted on the Internet from August to the end of last month by an organization made up of medical students, and 1082 people including medical students from all over the country responded.



We asked multiple answers about the fact that many universities stopped clinical training due to the influence of the new corona, and what restrictions were placed on the 180 medical students who resumed training in the ward.



According to this,


▽ "questioning patients" was 76%,


▽ "participation in rounds" was 60%,


▽ "entry to the ward" was 59%, and face-to-face training was restricted even after resumption. I found out that.



Also, while the training was canceled, when asked about the format of the training that was conducted instead,


▽ "report" was 84%,


▽ "live lecture such as Zoom" was 42%,


▽ "small number of people" "Case study" was 37%.



In the free description, there are voices concerned about the impact on the future, such as "I am worried about graduating without learning the minimum procedure to become a doctor."



Motochika Ito of the All Japan Medical Student Autonomy Association, who conducted the survey, said, "In clinical training, I think about the future while going around multiple clinical departments, so if I do not have enough experience, my options may be narrowed. I want you to think of alternatives that allow you to feel the atmosphere of the field, such as connecting to the medical field online. "
