HP 223 SS 2022-2023 Clinical Teaching (MEMG)

Hi Kit, thank you for sharing our output. All students pursuing to serve the healthcare system should be able to develop and acquire the five core competencies discussed in chapter 3 of Health Professions Education: A Bridge to Quality. Some, if not most, of these core competencies have been incorporated into the program outcomes of most healthcare professions, like in Medicine, as mandated by CMO #18. But first and foremost, students must first learn the basic knowledge, skills, and attitude that they can apply in practice and improve as they experience real-world scenarios. Patient-centered care encompasses patient safety, quality care, and informatics. The new generation of learners must learn a new way of interviewing patients, asking open-ended questions rather than spoon-feeding them with yes or no answers, giving patients time to tell their stories and us as listeners. It’s easier said than done, considering the limited time we give our students to interview patients. But it’s something that can be developed over time. Working in an interdisciplinary team can be taught theoretically for now and requires a strategy that involves other colleges engaging in collaborative activities as group learners.
