Abstract:
Through our experiences in faculty development workshops, we realized that we had not sufficiently understood the problems clinical educators had been facing on site. Thus, we planned to perform qualitative research as part of a needs assessment in faculty development workshops.
1)We aimed to analyze and structuralize previously unclarified underlying problems by exploring what clinical educators were worried about regarding the initial residency program.
2)We performed a questionnaire survey of 214 physicians participating in faculty development workshops and qualitatively analyzed their responses in the form of free comments.
3)Once declaring that they would "start with accepting the program," clinical educators are unaware of their ignorance and unacceptably criticize the residency system, such that their "ignorance disguised as criticism" is highlighted.
4)With the introduction of the new residency system, a framework for building relationships as a system, which requires residents to be trained in a particular organization, no longer works, causing significant confusion on site.
