Background: In 2003, the Department of Health initiated its postgraduate year one (PGY1) training program in general medicine. The purpose of this study is to assess the community medicine training program provided by the Department of Family Medicine in Taipei City Hospital, Yangming Branch. Methods: The timeline of this study was from 2003 to 2007. It covered community medicine and community practice courses, the teacher-student communication, and overall discussions. Surveys were carried out to determine student satisfaction, expectations of community groups, and reasons for ending the training program during the integration of community teaching resources. Results: Students were satisfied with the one-month basic community medicine courses and one-month practical community medicine courses. The COPC (community oriented primary care) was more helpful than the IDS (integrated health delivery system) in 2006. There was a significant difference in student satisfaction with different departments. Hospital staff were more willing to teach than were clinic staff. As communicated to their teachers, participants expressed their appreciation for the strengths of community teaching groups and teachers, the practicality and helpfulness of courses, the impact on future life, improvement in education and reduced pressure associated with community classes, etc. Conclusion: This research summarizes the 5-year experience of participants in a postgraduate general medicine training program. We hope it will be a reference for future planning of community medicine training programs. |
