| Popis: | Summary In recent years the undergraduate medical curriculum in the United Kingdom has undergone significant reshaping to reflect the primary and holistic care needs of today's society. Subspecialty interests; such as burns care and reconstruction, are now infrequently represented in the formal teaching programme 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 . We aimed to further explore medical students’ self-reported confidence in initial burns management to give an indication whether more emphasis on teaching this subject at an undergraduate level is required. Between January and June 2019, ninety-six MBBS students from years one through to five at Hull-York Medical School were surveyed online on their confidence in sixteen learning outcomes within burns medicine. The responses were graded on a Likert scale of 1-5 (strongly disagree to strongly agree). The total mean respondent confidence (2.68) across all the learning points suggested that the average student neither agreed nor disagreed with the statements. The results of this survey suggest that medical students are lacking in knowledge to initially manage patients with burns, even towards the end of their undergraduate training. |
