Läkarprogrammet i Göteborg moderniserar. Professionell utveckling, forskningsanknytning och internationalisering i fokus
Sammanfattning
The medical education at the Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, is being reformed by an emphasis on professional development, international contacts and research. Students’ professional development consists of five core areas: Communication and self-reflection, Leadership and teamwork, Ethical attitude, Human rights and gender issues, and a Scientific and critical attitude. A learning progression of students’ professional competence is organised by five process leaders, coordinating core learning objectives and examinations within the existing curriculum. By promoting international exchange, more than half of the students in undergraduate medical education have had international contacts. The Sahlgrenska Academy aims to promote medical students’ interest for research and to increase the percentage among medical doctors that have a PhD degree. A program for combining medical education with research and teaching is being launched along with a MD/PhD program for medical basic science and a special PhD/MD program.
