Academic Requirements of Medical Students in the Context of Their Professional Education
Abstract
The research aims at studying academic requirements of medical students in the context of their professional education. The paper defines the appropriateness of academic goals in relation to modern professional trends and requirements of future health care professionals.
The survey involved 407 participants. It was directed at defining the state of student’s learning environment at the department of Latin and foreign languages, in particular it concerned the quality and efficacy of learning and teaching the subject “English for professional purposes”. The results prove that all of the defined academic aims of the subject “English for professional purposes” correspond to academic requirements of medical students. The following is confirmed by a significantly higher number of responses “very important” and “important” compared to the responses “unimportant” and “absolutely unimportant” (p<0.05), while evaluating the importance of the academic aim. Thus, the performed analysis of survey results concerning the academic requirements of medical students confirmed the appropriateness of setting academic goals in the context of professional education of future physicians. The system of academic goals aids realization of competence-based approach in higher medical education and consequently the development of professional readiness to communicate in a medical setting with health care professionals and patients.
