Summary
Patient willingness to train medical students is high in both public and private hospitals. However, private hospital doctors show declining positive attitudes towards medical student training, indicating a need for support.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Healthcare Management
- Clinical Training
Background:
- Global increase in private sector medical student training.
- Australian private sector training increased by 250% in a decade.
- Effective clinical education relies on patient and staff willingness.
Purpose of the Study:
- Examine patient and medical staff attitudes towards medical student training.
- Compare attitudes between private and public hospitals.
- Assess changes in private hospital attitudes over time.
Main Methods:
- Survey of patients and medical staff in Sydney private and public hospitals (Dec 2016 - Jan 2017).
- Comparison of attitudes between hospital types.
- Comparison of private hospital attitudes with 2012 data.
Main Results:
- Public hospital patients more willing to have students present than private hospital patients.
- Public hospital doctors had more positive attitudes than private hospital doctors.
- Private hospital patients' attitudes improved since 2012; doctors' attitudes declined.
Conclusions:
- Patient willingness supports private sector medical education expansion.
- Declining private hospital medical staff willingness necessitates addressing barriers.
- Future private sector medical training requires addressing staff concerns.

Inhaled medications are crucial for managing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma. They are essential for effective treatment and control, ensuring optimal respiratory health and well-being. Inhaled medication delivers drugs directly to the lungs, providing a rapid onset of action and reducing systemic side effects compared to oral or injectable medications. Three primary types of inhalation devices are used to administer these medications: nebulizers, metered-dose inhalers...
