Abstract:
One of the most important teaching methods in medical education is the holistic approach which tries to integrate basic sciences and clinical medicine. The purpose of this study is to survey the situation of integrative l ectures at Yonsei University, College of Medicine. The study identified some problems in integrative lectures. Most of residents and students do not recognize the nature of integrative lectures. Besides the survey showed that the collaboration between faculty members and departments was uncooperative. Furthermore the intergrative lectures were not able to distinguish from other lectures. The results of present study implies that it is necessary to reevaluate the program of current integrative lectures. To improve the program it is highly recommended to establish the research committee. The committee could organize a variety of seminars and workshops to diseminate information on new teaching strategies in those integrative lectures. Finally, the committee can conduct accessment of existing lectures and modify the curriculum.
