A new curriculum for «Social Medicine, Public Health» improved biostatistics training for future physicians. This enhanced their professional competence and effectiveness in applying statistical methods in their careers.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Biostatistics
- Public Health
Background:
- The integration of a new curriculum in «Social Medicine, Public Health» necessitates evaluating its impact on biostatistics education.
- Assessing the effectiveness of biostatistics teaching is crucial for developing competent future physicians.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the effectiveness of biostatistics teaching for future physicians under a new curriculum.
- To assess the impact of the «Social Medicine, Public Health» module on biostatistics competency.
Main Methods:
- A comparative study involving an experimental group (EG) and a control group (CG) of medical students.
- Sociological surveys and assessment of acquired competencies using motivational, cognitive, activity, and reflective criteria.
- Utilized bibliosemantic, analytical, sociological, medical-statistical, and experimental methods for data analysis.
Main Results:
- Identified differences between EG and CG in work-study balance, preferences for biostatistics, prior statistical knowledge, and perceived difficulties.
- Analyzed reasons for dissatisfaction and determined optimal teaching methods for biostatistics.
- Gathered student proposals for curriculum improvement and clarified future study/application plans.
Conclusions:
- The new «Social Medicine, Public Health» curriculum positively impacted students' biostatistics professional competence.
- The implemented curriculum module demonstrated effectiveness in enhancing biostatistics skills for future physicians.
