Abstract

Increasing the health care work force is critical to underserved communities. Unfortunately, students in these areas lack accessibility to the clinical experiences needed to get an introductory understanding of careers in health care. Therefore, a health care experience (HCE) course was created for undergraduate students that included didactic training, active learning exercises, and coordinated shadowing experiences. To evaluate the effect of the HCE on student interest in science, health care, and rural health a study was performed on HCE participants. This study assessed student background, interest in health care, and plans for future careers in underserved settings. Students who enrolled in the HCE demonstrated high interest in science, health care, and rural health. Evaluation of student reflections indicated students attained novel learning, gained insights, and recognized the importance of communication. The HCE course students exhibited amplified confidence in HCEs and had a significant increase in understanding of health care compared with a control group of students who had not completed the HCE. Undergraduate institutions can include courses like the HCE into curricula to increase accessibility to career experiences for students interested in health care careers.

本科生医疗保健体验课程增强了学生对医疗保健职业的信心和了解。
增加医疗保健劳动力对于医疗服务不足的社区至关重要。遗憾的是,这些地区的学生缺乏所需的临床经验,无法对医疗保健职业有初步的了解。因此,我们为本科生开设了一门医疗保健体验(HCE)课程,其中包括说教式培训、主动学习练习和协调的影子体验。为了评估医疗保健体验课程对学生对科学、医疗保健和农村医疗保健的兴趣的影响,我们对医疗保健体验课程的参与者进行了一项研究。这项研究评估了学生的背景、对医疗保健的兴趣以及未来在服务不足的环境中从事职业的计划。参加健康教育课程的学生表现出对科学、医疗保健和农村医疗保健的浓厚兴趣。对学生反思的评估表明,学生获得了新颖的学习方法,增长了见识,并认识到了交流的重要性。与未完成 HCE 课程的对照组学生相比,HCE 课程的学生在 HCE 中表现出更强的自信,对医疗保健的理解也有显著提高。本科院校可以将 HCE 等课程纳入教学大纲,以增加对医疗保健职业感兴趣的学生获得职业体验的机会。

期刊介绍: CBE—Life Sciences Education (LSE), a free, online quarterly journal, is published by the American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB). The journal was launched in spring 2002 as Cell Biology Education—A Journal of Life Science Education. The ASCB changed the name of the journal in spring 2006 to better reflect the breadth of its readership and the scope of its submissions. LSE publishes peer-reviewed articles on life science education at the K–12, undergraduate, and graduate levels. The ASCB believes that learning in biology encompasses diverse fields, including math, chemistry, physics, engineering, computer science, and the interdisciplinary intersections of biology with these fields. Within biology, LSE focuses on how students are introduced to the study of life sciences, as well as approaches in cell biology, developmental biology, neuroscience, biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics, genomics, bioinformatics, and proteomics.
