东南亚国家的医学教育正在经历快速的变化，医学院的课程调整，以满足国家的需求和优先事项，采用和实验创新，并更加重视员工发展计划。新加坡国立大学的医学教育单位进行了一个项目，以汇编发生在这些医学院的教育过程。我们开发了一个定制的问卷，强调叙述性描述。我们汇编了东南亚地区30所选定的医学院的概况，并在编辑和审查后发表了这些概况。本报告总结了该项目的主要发现。发现东南亚的医学院处于动态状态。学校正逐步采用以学生为中心的学习方法，包括以问题为基础的学习。许多学校为学生提供早期临床培训，院外岗位的机会，以及学生选择的选修课。多项选择题和口试几乎普遍用于学生评估。门户网站以及自我和同行评估很少使用。学校面临的主要挑战是缺乏合格的工作人员和财政拮据。未来的主要目标包括实施以学生为中心的学习，改造的评估过程中，和员工training.CONCLUSIONS这是一个汇编的自我报告的配置文件选择的医学院，我们鼓励自我反思和分析。与其他调查一样，可能存在潜在的自我选择偏差。尽管如此，这些选定的学校的概况提供了东南亚医学院的地位的广泛概述。
CONTEXT Medical education in Southeast Asian countries is undergoing rapid changes, with the realignment of medical schools' curricula to meet national needs and priorities, the adoption of and experimentation with innovations, and greater emphasis on staff development initiatives. The Medical Education Unit of the National University of Singapore undertook a project to compile the educational processes taking place in these medical schools.METHOD This was a process-focused initiative. We developed a custom-made questionnaire that emphasised narrative description. We compiled profiles of 30 selected medical schools in the Southeast Asian region and, after editing and review, published these profiles. This report summarises the key findings from the project.FINDINGS Medical schools in Southeast Asia are in a dynamic state. Schools are gradually adopting student-centred learning approaches, including problem-based learning. Many schools offer their students early clinical training, opportunities for out-of-hospital postings, and student-selected electives. Multiple-choice questions and oral examinations are almost universally used in student assessment. Portfolios and self- and peer-assessments are seldom used. Major challenges faced by the schools involve shortages of qualified staff and financial constraints. Major goals for the future include the implementation of student-centred learning, the revamping of the assessment process, and staff training.CONCLUSIONS This is a compilation of self-reported profiles of selected medical schools where we encouraged self-reflection and analysis. As with other surveys, there could be potential self-selection bias. Nevertheless, the profiles of these selected schools provide a broad overview of the status of medical schools in Southeast Asia.
