JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe relation between results of interview evaluation and progress after admission, especially the need to repeat years of school, dropping out, and results of the national examination for medical practitioners, was investigated in 318 students. Among students who had been admitted on the basis of open entrance examination, those who had lower interview evaluations needed to repeat a year of school at least three times more often than did other students. Among students who had been amitted on the basis of recommendations of high school principals, no such difference was observed, probably owing to selection bias. On the other hand, students who repeated a year of school had a significantly higher failure rate on the national examination for madical practitioners than did other students.View full abstractDownload PDF (548K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSBecause the environment of space is extremely harsh, manned space activities require considerable medical support. Space medicine, a field of medical science, deals with such situations. In this report, we present the outline of a space medicine course that we have established as an elective course in the School of Medicine, the University of Tsukuba, Japan. The students' responses to questionnaires indicated the popularity of the course and their interest in it. Concentrated courses are effective for teaching new cross-disciplinary areas in medical school.View full abstractDownload PDF (2786K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSI took a summer course at the School of Nursing of the University of Delaware in the United States. The 4-week neurology and neurosurgery course had been organized by a clinical nurse specialist. The curriculum was extremely effective because one clinical topic was taught for a certain period of time. This system has been judged to be useful for teaching clinical nursing. A similar program might also be useful for nursing schools in Japan.View full abstractDownload PDF (2635K)
