Comparing The Internal Medicine And Pediatric Morning Report With The Standard Morning Report
Main Article Content
Abstract
Background: The morning report (MR) seeks different goals in various centers and departments, and considering the undeniable importance of these sessions in curricula, The purpose of the present study is to investigate the presentation of internal medicine and pediatric MR of hospitals affiliated with Tabriz University of Medical Sciences.
Methods: A 24-item questionnaire containing questions on the MR structure, presentation of the cases discussed in MR, giving importance to research, learning level and, finally, giving importance to ethics and forensic medicine was designed. These questionnaires were completed by externs and interns working in pediatric and internal medicine wards in June 2014 (n=50 people per ward).
Results: One-hundred 24-item questionnaires were completed. The “Optimal” and “Excellent” were the most frequent options selected in questions on faculty members' abilities (157), the presence of permanent members in MR sessions (56), the presentation quality of MRs by the interns in the internal medicine (78) and the residents in the pediatric ward (68). However, the “Optimal” and “Excellent” were the least frequently options selected in questions on encouraging students to clinical research (6), the presence of guest members (6), paying attention to medical and forensic ethics (18), and discussing differential diagnoses by article reviews (11).
Conclusion: The MR presented in the two wards has extensive defects in all areas and there is a need for more accurate control and extensive evaluations at all levels of medical education.
