“…According to previous research, we adopted the general competence eld advocated by the widely accepted Accreditation Committee for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) to evaluate the improvement of the individual abilities of medical students. These abilities are considered necessary to become an excellent doctor [20,21]. The results showed that after nearly one year of course study, there was a signi cant difference in the improvement of personal ability between the two groups of students.…”

Objective: This study aimed to analyze and discuss the differences of medical education of West China School of Stomatology, Sichuan University, in the construction of first-class disciplines worldwide, to explore the reform of dental teaching, and to cultivate talent with international vision. Methods: This study investigated 112 undergraduate, master’s and doctoral students in the West China School of Stomatology, Sichuan University, from 2021 to 2022. The evaluation results of dental students in project courses under different teaching modes (traditional teaching methods and team cooperative learning) were explored. Subjects were divided into two groups: the control group (n=55) and the experimental group (n=57). Under the guidance of the instructor, the dental teaching application and exploration project was conducted. At the end of the project, a self-report questionnaire with 17 items was distributed to participants to evaluate three areas (the TBL teaching model, international curriculum evaluation and personal ability improvement). A total of 100 valid questionnaires were received, with a response rate of 89%. Results: Except for the first and sixth questions, there were significant differences in all the others. The other 11 questions showed that the scores of students in the control group were significantly higher than those in the experimental group with a p value less than 0.05, indicating that there was a significant difference and that experimental group had a significant effect in three areas compared with control group after course learning. In addition, in the two groups, most of the students (56% in the control group and 76% in the experimental group) hoped to participate in the international curriculum of medical education and gain an international perspective. In terms of personal ability improvement, the majority of students (62% - 76%) in the experimental group strongly agreed that they had improved in various aspects during the one-year course teaching and clinical training, while only 22% - 36% in the control group agreed with this statement. Conclusion: It was beneficial to improve the teaching level, academic research ability and teaching methods of colleges and universities by internationalizing medical education in combination with TBL dental teaching reform. This application and exploration project comprehensively promoted medical teaching reform and innovative talent training, encouraged the personalized development of students, and trained their clinical thinking, scientific research thinking and critical thinking to cultivate high-quality talent with innovative awareness and international vision.

“…Hands-on laparoscopic experience has been shown to considerably boost students’ technical skills, enhance learning, maintain motivation, and increase interest in surgery as a future career [ 9 , 10 ]. However, medical students’ exposure to laparoscopy is predominantly confined to watching live camera streams during surgeries [ 11 ]. Opportunities to hone their laparoscopic skills are often constrained because of limited hands-on experiences in their current curricula [ 12 , 13 ].…”

Background With its minimally invasive approach, laparoscopic surgery has transformed the medical landscape. As the demand for these procedures escalates, there is a pressing need for adept surgeons trained in laparoscopic techniques. However, current training often falls short of catering to medical school education. This study evaluates the impact of a custom-designed laparoscopic training workshop on medical students’ surgical skills and career aspirations. Methods This prospective experimental study was conducted at the E-Da hospital in Kaohsiung City, Taiwan. Medical students from Taiwanese medical schools undergoing Clerk 5, Clerk 6, and Postgraduate Year 1 and 2 were invited to participate. Medical students (n = 44) underwent an endoscopic skill training workshop consisting of lectures, box training, and live tissue training. The trainees performed multiple tasks before and after training using our objective evaluation system. The primary outcome was assessed before and after training through a questionnaire assessing the influence of training on students’ interest in surgery as a career. The secondary outcome measured improvement in skill acquisition, comparing the task completion time pre- and post-workshop. For the primary outcome, descriptive statistics were used to summarize the questionnaire responses, and paired t-tests were performed to determine significant changes in interest levels post-workshop. For the secondary outcome, paired t-tests were used to compare the time recorded pre- and post-training. Results Post-training, participants exhibited significant proficiency gains, with task completion times reducing notably: 97 s (p = 0.0015) for Precision Beads Placement, 88.5 s (p < 0.0001) for Beads Transfer Exercise, 95 s (p < 0.0001) for Precision Balloon Cutting, and 137.8 s (p < 0.0001) for Intracorporeal Suture. The primary outcome showcased an increased mean score from 8.15 pre-workshop to 9.3 post-workshop, indicating a bolstered interest in surgery as a career. Additionally, post-training sentiment analysis underscored a predominant inclination toward surgery among 88% of participants. Conclusion The custom-designed laparoscopic workshop significantly improved technical skills and positively influenced students’ career aspirations toward surgery. Such hands-on training workshops can play a crucial role in medical education, bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical skills and potentially shaping the future of budding medical professionals.
