CANCER MODULE OF MEDICAL NUTRITION CURRICULUM INITIATIVE

国家癌症教育资助计划的一个主要目标 学院是发展独特的教育方法， 最终将对降低癌症发病率、死亡率和 发病率。来自14所医学院的学术营养学领袖， 在北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校的领导下 (UNC-CH)，正在努力开发一种新的医疗营养方法 使用一系列基于计算机的创新模块进行教育，这些模块形成了 医学生营养学共同核心课程。在这笔赠款中，我们 建议开发有关营养和癌症的模块。的核心是 电脑强化教材将会是一系列的多媒体- 交互式计算机程序。每个节目都介绍了基本营养 学生与模拟课程交互的框架内的科学(On 专业质量的数字化视频)患者。为了营养和 癌症模块我们的学习目标来自于 一个由美国癌症教育协会组织的研讨会。在……里面 除了营养和癌症的生化基础外，该模块还将 涵盖相关营养流行病学、临床营养学、营养学 评估和与营养有关的预防性保健。在第一年，我们 建议开展项目，并对志愿者进行形成性测试 学生们。在第二年，我们建议在试点研究中验证该计划， 适当修改，然后在医学生班进行测试 1996年秋季进入北卡罗来纳大学。评价性测试的表现 在计算机增强培训之前和之后进行的培训将与 将于1995年秋季进入北卡罗来纳大学的学生的表现 关于营养和癌症的传统课程。营养评估 技术将作为计算机增强课程的一部分教授，并 将通过传统的物理诊断课程得到加强 医学院二年级。使用客观标准化的临床 医科二年级考试(受训病人)，我们会比较 1995级新生表现(无计算机强化培训) 与1996级新生(计算机强化)的成绩相同。在年第3年 在拟议的拨款中，我们将在两个月内测试营养和癌症计划 其他医学院(由我们的国家咨询委员会挑选)使用 在北卡罗来纳大学进行了前测和后测验证。从该测试中获得的反馈 将用于修改模块。

A major aim of the Cancer Education Grant Program of the National Cancer institute is the development of unique educational approaches that ultimately will have an impact on reducing cancer incidence, mortality and morbidity. Leaders in academic nutrition from fourteen medical schools, under the leadership of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH), are working to develop a new approach to medical nutrition education using a series of innovative computer-based modules which form a common core program in nutrition for medical students. In this grant we propose to develop the module covering nutrition and cancer. The core of the computer-enhanced teaching materials will be a series of multimedia- interactive computer programs. Each program presents basic nutrition science within the framework of a student interaction with a simulated (on professional quality digitized video) patient. For the nutrition and cancer module our learning objectives are derived from those formulated by a workshop convened by the American Society for Cancer Education. In addition ot the biochemical bases of nutrition and cancer, the module will cover related nutrition epidemiology, clinical nutrition, nutrition assessment and nutritionally-related preventive health care. In year 1, we propose to develop the program and undertake formative testing on volunteer students. In year 2, we propose to validate the program in pilot studies, revise it appropriately, and then test it ont he medical student class entering UNC-CH in fall 1996. The performance on evaluative testing performed before and after computer-enhanced training will be compared to the performance of students entering UNC in fall 1995 who will be presented a conventional curriculum on nutrition and cancer. Nutrition assessment techniques will be taught as part of the computer-enhanced curriculum and will be reinforced by a conventional physical diagnosis course in the second year of medical school. Using an Objective Standardized Clinical Examination (trained patient) in medical school year 2, we will compare performance of the entering class of 1995 (no computer-enhanced training) with that of the entering class of 1996 (computer-enhanced). In year 3 of the proposed grant, we will test the nutrition and cancer program at two other medical schools (selected by our national advisory board) using the pretest and post-test validated at UNC. Feedback derived from this testing will be used to revise the module.
