Abstract:
We surveyed in every medical university in Japan on how attitudes development is adopted in its medical educational curriculum so far. There are several universities which in some way have already adopted attitudes development into curriculum or teaching items. However, hours of lesson and the contents are so differed among them. Moreover, both evaluation of these lessons by trainees and judgement as far the educational effect by trainers are not programmed satisfactorily. Some universities complain of manpower shortage, difficulties of fixing curriculum, or shortage of total lesson hours, so that they say they cannot dare work on this attempt. But, there are still an increasing number of universities ready to start their programs, where education arranged by non-medical teachers, practical medical experience at the real front, the introduction of simulated patient (SP) into education, and so on are considerd to be carried out.
Thus, we suppose it is time to have and share some guideline for adequate attitudes development education at this moment. And at the same time, a national system to encourage the medical education, including trainning SP, is urgently required to be planned.
