| Popis: | Gynecologic teaching associates teach the communication and psychomotor skills for breast and pelvic examinations in most medical schools in the United States and Canada. Evaluations of these gynecologic teaching associate programs have included faculty impressions of program effectiveness and measurement of student retention of skills but not student evaluations of the effectiveness and value of such programs. At the University of Illinois at Chicago students evaluated their gynecologic teaching associate program. High ratings were given to program organization and content; the knowledge, ability, and professionalism of the teaching associates; and the outcomes of the sessions with respect to the learning skills needed to perform the examinations. Students emphasized the importance of the ability of the teaching associates to provide immediate informative feedback and to reduce anxiety during the teaching sessions. Students tended to view their ability to perform breast examination to be greater than for the pelvic examinations but felt they learned more about both in the sessions. This information supports the value of the gynecologic teaching associate model in medical education. |
