Research on the construction path of education mode guiding reflective practice in medical colleges based on ecological community theory Li Qinglin, Liu Jiangheng, Cao Depin, Tian Jing, Yang Libin, Bo Hong, Guo Qingfeng, Guo Jinsong 2022, 42 (1):  1-5.  DOI: 10.3760/cma.j.cn115259-20210706-00853 Abstract ( 192 )   PDF (877KB) ( 171 )   Reflective performance under the guidance of reflective theory plays an important role in the training of medical talents, while the integrity of reflection requires the cultivation of individual ability and the construction of reflection context. However, in the field of medical education, there is a lack of comprehensive examination of the participants and functional elements in reflective practice. In order to strengthen the construction of reflective context, this paper analyzes the internal logic for education mode development guided by reflective theory in medical colleges based on the perspective of ecological community theory. The article also expounds the external characteristics of the overall coordination, multiple openness and dynamic balance of education mode among reflective practice in medical colleges based on ecological community theory. The authors try to propose the internal and external ecological construction pathway for the development of education mode based on ecological community theory, which includes balancing the internal ecological in medical colleges' education mode among reflective practice, coordinating the external ecological in medical colleges'education mode among reflective practice and promoting the internal and external ecological cycle in medical colleges' education mode among reflective practice.

Methods In July 2020, with the assistance of Chinese Medical Association, a questionnaire survey was conducted on the current situation of collaborative training for residents of standardized residency training programs in China. The contents of the questionnaire survey were residents' collaborative training plan, collaborative training rotation time, collaborative training effect and main problems in collaborative training. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the survey results. Results A total of 83 053 residents are covered by the questionnaire survey. There are 29.61%(24 595/ 83 053)of the residents need to carry out collaborative training. The collaborative training rates of different specialties are quite different. Psychiatry, medical genetics, general practice of traditional Chinese medicine and general practice have the rate of collaborative training performance more than 40%. About 72.93% (60 570/ 83 053)of the residents transfer to the collaborative hospitals with collaborative training program because of the reasons like “lack of some departments or diseases”. About 32.24% (7 929/24 595)of the residents hope to get the training in hospitals with collaborative program for more than one year. About 80.81% (19 875/24 595)of the residents rank that the effect of collaborative training was “very good” or “good”. Residents believe that the main problems in collaborative training are as follows: different payment to trainees in different training hospitals [33.44%(8 224/24 595)], the training quality of collaborative hospital is not well controlled [32.72%(8 048/24 595)]. Conclusions Collaborative training has been widely initiated for the standardized residency training programs in China to meet the needs because it significantly improved the outcomes of training. However, there are still some problems like impure purpose, unclear quality assurance mechanism and lack of supervision. Collaborative training needs to be standardized constantly to ensure the quality of standardized residency training program. References | Related Articles | Metrics
