Divya Thirumalai RAJAM1, Fazean Irdayati IDRIS1, Nurolaini KIFLI1, Khadizah H. ABDUL- MUMIN1,2, Glenn HARDAKER3. 1PAPRSB Institute of Health Sciences, Universiti Brunei Darussalam, Jalan Tungku Link, BE1410, Brunei Darussalam. 2School of Nursing and Midwifery, La Trobe University, Bundoora, VIC 3086, Australia. 3Centre for Lifelong Learning, Universiti Brunei Darussalam, Jalan Tungku Link, BE1410, Brunei Darussalam. BACKGROUND The establishment of a localised medical programme will increase the number of future doctors for the country. Additionally, this will improve the quality of education, through locally trained doctors, leading to better health care for the population. Our article reports the developmental transitions of medical education in Brunei Darussalam, which are derived from our experiences as curriculum developers and observers. This is supported by internal university documented resources such as: reports, historical perspectives from lo- cal journals and university documents. The aim of this article is to highlight the insights of medical educa- tion and its developments in Brunei Darussalam. Medical education in Brunei began with overseas training of students who typically completed their higher secondary school education in the United Kingdom. This followed by a twinning programme, and later an articulated programme with partner medical schools (PMS) across the United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland, Australia, Canada and Hong Kong. The aim being to develop a ‘full-fledged’ medical programme in the near future. There have been further milestones achieved in the preparation of medical education, which will be reported in this article.

  • Anatomy Learning and Retention Among Students in A
    Anatomy learning and retention among students in a graduate-entry medical course Michelle Machado B.Sc (Hons), M.Sc Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Education) College of Arts and Education Victoria University 7 July 2017 Running head: ANATOMY KNOWLEGDE IN MEDICAL STUDENTS i Abstract Anatomy forms the basis of clinical examination and is integral to today’s medical curriculum. Yet, increasingly evident in the literature is feedback from clinicians and surgeons about the perceived lack of anatomical knowledge among recent medical graduates. To understand the issues surrounding student learning and retention of anatomy, a mixed-methods design was utilized to explore medical students’ anatomical knowledge throughout their Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) degree. Students enrolled in the four-year graduate-entry MBBS course at Monash University participated in the study. Participants from the preclinical (Year A) and clinical years (Years B, C and D) sat an online assessment consisting of 60 clinically relevant anatomy multiple-choice and extended-matched questions whose objectives had been previously covered in the preclinical teaching. Altogether, 136 students participated in the study. The results revealed that knowledge of anatomy declined over time and this was significant in the final two clinical years. The drop in anatomical knowledge was not uniform. The regions of anatomy better retained were associated with frequent exposure and reinforcement in the clinical years. Participants cited an intense and time-constrained curriculum, poor integration in the clinical years and rare opportunities for revising and testing anatomy as reasons for the decline of knowledge.

  • The Faculty Ann Jervie Sefton
    Chapter 1 The Faculty Ann Jervie Sefton Introduction The Faculty of Medicine at the University of Sydney was established on 13 June 1856, the first medical faculty in Australia and New Zealand. Initially, it served as an examining body. The Centenary Book of the University of Sydney Faculty of Medicine provides a detailed account of the debates in the Senate which preceded its inception and records its early development. That book celebrated 100 years of medical education at the University, providing details of the early examiners, teachers and students up until early 1980s. The histories of the departments were included, with notes on some of the more successful and colourful members. The avowed purpose of the Faculty was to train doctors for the growing colony of NSW (and, for some years, Queensland). The 26-year-old Thomas Peter Anderson Stuart (later Sir Thomas) was appointed to lead its development. Despite his youth, his distinguished referees wrote glowing testimonials. He was the first (and longest-serving) of the now 17 deans of the Faculty. Confident, and in later life formidable, Anderson Stuart graduated from Edinburgh, like many early staff at the University of Sydney. The Scottish schools and universities were of high repute, educating more of the population than was the case in England. He also had research training in Strasbourg. John Smith Anderson Stuart 2 1.

  • Competency-Based Medical Education: Implications for Undergraduate Programs
    2010; 32: 646–650 Competency-based medical education: implications for undergraduate programs PETER HARRIS1, LINDA SNELL2, MARTIN TALBOT3 & RONALD M. HARDEN4, FOR THE INTERNATIONAL CBME COLLABORATORS 1University of New South Wales, Australia, 2McGill University and Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, 3University of Sheffield, England, 4University of Dundee, Scotland Abstract Changes in educational thinking and in medical program accreditation provide an opportunity to reconsider approaches to undergraduate medical education. Current developments in competency-based medical education (CBME), in particular, present both possibilities and challenges for undergraduate programs. CBME does not specify particular learning strategies or formats, but rather provides a clear description of intended outcomes. This approach has the potential to yield authentic curricula for medical practice and to provide a seamless linkage between all stages of lifelong learning. At the same time, the implementation of CBME in undergraduate education poses challenges for curriculum design, student assessment practices, teacher preparation, and systemic institutional change, all of which have implications for student learning. Some of the challenges of CBME are similar to those that can arise in the implementation of any integrated program, while others are specific to the adoption of outcome frameworks as an organizing principle for curriculum design. This article reviews a number of issues raised by CBME in the context of undergraduate programs and provides examples of best practices that might help to address these issues. Introduction Practice points Issues surrounding the definition, application, and desirability . A competency framework based in the requirements of of a competency framework in medical education, including clinical practice provides a seamless linkage from the its appropriateness for undergraduate medical education, have undergraduate phase to the phase of supervised been debated in the literature (Grant 1999; Talbot 2004).
