This study analyzed a rheumatology training program, finding the overall balance of educational objectives appropriate. However, individual learning experiences require adjustment to ensure comprehensive skill development for trainees.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Curriculum Development
  • Professional Training

Background:

  • Designing balanced educational outcomes is a persistent challenge for academic faculties.
  • Offering diverse organized and individual learning opportunities is crucial for effective training programs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the balance of educational objectives in a postgraduate rheumatology training program using an original model.
  • To evaluate various learning experiences within the program for their suitability in achieving diverse learning goals.

Main Methods:

  • Junior staff reported learning times for different educational activities.
  • Suitability of learning experiences for cognitive, affective, and psychomotor objectives was assessed.
  • Learning points were calculated based on time spent and appropriateness of educational strategies.

Main Results:

  • The rheumatology program allocated 37.7% of time to supervised learning, 24.4% to structured learning, 22.6% to self-study, and 15.3% to patient-oriented learning.
  • While the overall program achieved a good balance of learning objectives, individual experiences did not.
  • Factual knowledge and problem-solving were emphasized in organized sessions and self-study, whereas skills and competencies were developed during patient care under supervision.

Conclusions:

  • The developed model can assess and foster well-balanced learning experiences.
  • Faculties are encouraged to apply this approach to various educational curricula, including postgraduate training and continuous professional development.
  • Optimizing the balance of learning experiences is key to enhancing overall educational outcomes.
