ABSTRACT
This chapter aims to gain an overall knowledge about staff's attitudes towards educational reform in medicine and health in general, and in particular, towards aspects of education that should be further emphasized and improved. It also intends to have an overview about whether the participants’ subjects were involved in the curricula integration. Seven questions were asked with regard to these aspects in the survey. Findings are presented and analyzed and arranged in four sections in this chapter. Section 4.1 reports how participants responded to the importance of teaching and learning methods as well as curricula design in medicine and health education, to what extent they believed it is necessary for students in earlier study periods to access clinical courses such as Introduction to Clinical Medicine, to what extent they believed that curricula integration should involve multiple subjects, and to what extent they believed the traditional teaching method in medicine and health education should be reformed. Section 4.2 presents participants' response on which aspects of the
48current medicine and health education outcome should be further enhanced. Section 4.3 reports aspects of the current medicine and health education which should be improved in the respondents’ opinions. Section 4.4 provides an overall picture of the respondents' involvement in the conducted curricula integration in medicine and health education in China. Data analyses in this chapter do not only include overall findings to the above addressed issues, but also take into consideration the impact of gender, age, profession, job title, and the universities’ geographical locations, respectively.
