Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Rural Health
  • Digital Learning Tools

Background:

  • Rural clinical schools depend on patient-based learning, which is often unstructured and serendipitous.
  • Students transition from didactic learning to a self-directed model in rural settings, leading to insecurity.
  • Existing methods like paper logs and diaries have failed to effectively track patient encounters for syllabus coverage.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce Syllabus Tracking (STRAC), a web-based system for tracking patient encounters in rural clinical settings.
  • To present a Reflective Case History Template to promote reflective learning from patient experiences.
  • To provide a flexible and adaptable tool for rural clinical schools to manage curriculum delivery.

Main Methods:

  • Development and implementation of a web-based system named Syllabus Tracking (STRAC).

Related Experiment Videos

  • Integration of a Reflective Case History Template to guide student learning.
  • Utilizing a reporting function within STRAC for progress monitoring.

    • Main Results:

    • STRAC offers a structured approach to managing patient-based learning in rural clinical schools.
    • The system provides a method for students and faculty to track syllabus coverage.
    • Early feedback suggests potential utility for other rural clinical schools.

    Conclusions:

    • STRAC addresses the need for structured patient encounter tracking in self-directed rural medical education.
    • The system supports reflective learning and curriculum management.
    • STRAC is presented as a valuable tool for rural clinical schools, with potential for broader application.
