The Fractured Relationship of Faculty and Student Perceptions

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Undergraduate medical education trends with reduced
contact hours clearly points towards a need for
greater integration of content in the curriculum.
This book shares the perceptions of faculty and
students to the horizontal & vertical integration of
pathology teaching at the College of Medicine,
University of Saskatchewan. The results of this study
strongly supports a balanced composite curricular
design, including facets of horizontal, vertical, and
diagonal integration as the best practice plan for
the instruction of pathology in the integrated
medical curriculum. An unexpected emergent theme is
the recognition of the perception gap between
students & faculty. As learning is the central
function of all education, the future of successful
effective medical educational learning environments
needs an inter-generational component of students &
faculty to engage as true joint partners in
curriculum reform. This will heal the fractured
relationship of teaching and learning by providing
the right balance between faculty expectations and
student learner needs. This book will be useful to
all educators & professionals involved in the
implementation of ongoing medical curricular reform.
