A new multidisciplinary trauma teaching program significantly improved medical students' performance in trauma Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs) compared to traditional lectures. This integrated approach enhances essential trauma care competencies.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Trauma Surgery
  • Competency-Based Education

Background:

  • A multidisciplinary, competency-based trauma teaching program was implemented for final-year medical students at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital (RPAH).
  • This program aimed to supplement the existing surgical clerkship.
  • It was introduced in 1994 to address a need for structured trauma education.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of a novel, multidisciplinary, competency-based trauma teaching program.
  • To compare student performance in trauma care against a control group receiving traditional lecture-based instruction.
  • To assess the impact of the integrated program on both psychomotor and cognitive trauma-related skills.

Main Methods:

  • The study involved 67 final-year medical students in a competency-based program with rotating teaching stations.

  • Four 3-hour sessions covered resuscitation, plastic, orthopedic, and neurotrauma.
  • Performance was assessed via Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs) six months post-intervention and compared to a control group (n=127) receiving lectures.

    • Main Results:

    • RPAH students scored significantly higher (78% vs. 70%, P < 0.0005) on trauma-specific OSCE questions.
    • No significant difference was observed in non-trauma subject areas (61% vs. 63%, P = 0.8).
    • The intervention group showed superior performance in specific skills and problem-solving stations.

    Conclusions:

    • The competency-based, multidisciplinary trauma teaching program demonstrated significant effectiveness in improving student outcomes.
    • This innovative approach has the potential to meet the demand for integrated trauma education within undergraduate medical curricula.
    • The findings support the adoption of such programs to enhance trauma care competencies.
