According to the national education system, each medical student must complete one-year internship prior to graduation. The internship has long been considered to be an essential phase in the education of physicians. The Ministry of Education recognized the importance of maintaining standards that reflect the current practice and the dynamic environment of the teaching hospitals, so jointed with the National Health Department to promulgate the 'Minimum Standard for Teaching Hospitals' in 1978. Hospital failed to meet the minimum standard would not be allowed tooffer internship training since 1979. The Accreditation Committee is composed of representatives of medicine, nursing, health and hospital administration to evaluate the internship program in detail. It decides upon, an accreditation status for each program and identifies areas in non-compliance with the standard. Following the two-year accreditation cycle, the. committee has conducted four surveys, and considerable experience has been gained. This study contains information and statistical data of 52 accredited programs reviewed after September 30, 1984, with comparative data from the minimum standard for teaching hospitals. Recommendations focused on general and special requirements, accreditation committee, accreditation categories, and accreditation process were remarked. The policy of teaching hospitals accreditation is indeed a stepping stone toward continued success of medical education and health administration, and do bring education and medical administration united together. However, it is necessary to revise the standard and modify accreditation procedures reguarily to develop more goal-oriented system that focuses. on essential elements of our teaching hospitals for continued use. Acknowledge must be given to the valuable advice that has been received from committee members and health care professionals during the past year. |
