Background & Objective: Student assessment is one of the most challenging issues of an integrated curriculum While calculating an overall score is in line with the goals of integrated curriculum it poses the risk that some students will deliberately leave out the content of some disciplines based on the fact that they have lower credits in each block exam In the present study we describe the experience of Tehran University of Medical Sciences Iran where an integrated medical curriculum has been launched since September 2011 as part of curriculum reform initiative Methods: In the first academic year students passed 4 blocks: Molecule and Cell Tissue Development and Function Cardiovascular Function Blood circulation and BloodRespiratory Function Each block included anatomy histology physiology and embryology The overall block score was reported at the end of each block In addition a cumulative disciplinary score was calculated at the end of the academic year through the summation of the weighted subscores of each discipline in each block Results: At the end of the year the number of students who had failed in histology anatomy embryology and physiology were 15 17 44 and 3 respectively They were required to take a disciplinary examination before the beginning of the next academic year Conclusion: A comparison of the number of students who failed disciplines with low credits (eg histology) with those who failed disciplines with high credits (eg physiology) suggests that the former had systematically been ignored by some students The calculation of a cumulative disciplinary score may reduce the deliberate omission of course content in integrated blocks

آموزش پدیده ای پویا است و روشهای آموزشی به طور مرتب نیازمند تغییرات کاربردی می باشد از اهداف مهم آموزش پزشکی حفظ و ارتقای سلامت آحاد جامعه است(1) آموزش هایی که جنبه های پیشگیری را در پزشکی شامل میشوند نسبت به آموزش هایی که در درمان مورد استفاده واقع میشوند، همواره از ارزش بالاتری برخوردار بوده و هستند لازم به ذکر است است که هیچگاه جسم و روح انسانها از هم جدا نیستند در این میان میتوان از شعر با اثرگذاری بالایی که در روح انسانها دارد در آموزش استفاده کرد ازطرفی روحیه مردم کشور عزیز ما ایران همواره با شعر از دیرباز عجین بوده است برای مثال ابوعلی سینا بسیاری از مطالب پزشکی و بهداشتی را در قالب شعر در کتاب هایش بیان میکرد و بسیاری از کتاب هایش که حاوی مطالب پزشکی و پیام های بهداشتی در قالب شعر بوده است در انتقال فرهنگ پزشکی اسلامی در قرون گذشته به ممالک اروپایی موثر بوده است(2) در این میان آموزش شعر گونه خصوصا برای اطفال بسیار اثر بخش است و اگر امکان داشته باشد پیامهای بهداشتی و پزشکی را با زبان شعر آنهم در قالب صحیح و برگرفته از صحیح ترین اصول علمی از طریق وسایل مختلف ارتباط جمعی به جامعه عرضه کرد، میتواند از اثر بخشی بالایی برخوردار باشد در این مطالعه آموزش عمومی جامعه در پیشگیری از بیماریهای عفونی و غیر عفونی بوسیله شعر انجام شده است و اثرات آنهم مورد ارزیابی قرار گرفته است هدف اصلی این مطالعه ارائه نوآوری در آموزش عمومی جامعه در پیشگیری از بیماریهای عفونی و غیر عفونی بوسیله شعر از جمله ارائه نوآوری آموزشی درآموزش عمومی جامعه در پیشگیری از بیماری عفونی و غیر عفونی مثل آنفولوآنزا، دیابت، استئوپورز، آسم و همچنین ارائه نوآوری آموزشی در ارتقای سلامت جامعه سالمندان بوسیله شعر می باشد در طی 5سال (13871392)، کتابها و پوسترهای مربوط به آموزش نحوه پیشگیری از بیماری های واگیر و غیرواگیر(در قالب شعر) در سطح شهر قم و بعضا سایر شهرها از جمله تهران توزیع شد در ضمن از سایر وسایل ارتباط جمعی از جمله صدا و سیمای قم(برنامه خانواده سالم) هم در این رابطه استفاده به عمل آمد برای مثال در مورد بیماری آنفولوآنزا، کتاب مصوری به نام بچه ها آنفولوآنزا که تماما با شعر نوشته شده بود در قالب کتاب های حاجی لک لک به تمامی مراکز فروش سطح کشور جهت آموزش کودکان این مرز و بوم فرستاده شده است که هم اکنون در کتابفروشی ها در دسترس است پوسترهای مصور آموزشی در قالب شعر در مورد آنفولوآنزا و به بسیاری از آزمایشگاه ها، مراکز بهداشتی درمانی و بیمارستانهای سراسر کشور فرستاده شد و همچنین در بسیاری از مدارس مورد استفاده واحد بهداشت آنها قرار گرفت و در بسیاری از این اماکن نصب و در معرض دید عموم قرار گرفت و برای مثال حتی در برنامه های آموزشی برخی از معلمین مدارس قم مورد استفاده قرار گرفته است در برنامه خانواده سالم در صدا و سیمای قم در مورد آموزش بیماری آنفولوآنزا در سال 90 شعر مربوطه خوانده شدو فید بک های از مردم گرفته شد در مورد آسم شعر مربوطه در مجله انجمن آسم و آلرژی و همچنین مجله نظام پزشکی قم چاپ شد که مورد استفاده عده زیادی از پزشکان که متاسفانه نحوه صحیح استفاده از اسپری را به بیماران توضیح نمیدادند قرار گرفت در مورد دیابت و اوستئوپورز در قالب طب سالمندان مثنوی بلندی بالغ بر 200 بیت در قالب یک کتاب چاپ شد وحتی در بعضی از سمینار ها از آن استفاده شد خوشبختانه بازتاب آموزشی این شیوه آموزش بسیار خوب بوده است برای مثال در مورد پوستر های مصور آموزشی که در قالب شعر در مورد آنفولوآنزا به تمامی آزمایشگاه های سراسر کشور و مراکز بهداشتی و برخی از مدارس سراسر کشورفرستاده شده بود: در پسخوراندهایی که توسط رابطین بهداشت مدارس و مراکز بهداشت به ما داده شد همگی حاکی از استقبال مردم بود حتی گزارشاتی در شهر قم توسط واحد بهداشت مدارس به ما داده شد مبنی بر اینکه آنقدر استقبال معلمین از شعر آنفولوآنزا زیاد بوده است که بعضاً از دانش آموزان خواسته اند تا آنرا حفظ کرده و به عنوان یک تکلیف آموزشی آنرا تلقی کنند پس از پخش برنامه خانواده سالم در صدا و سیمای مرکز قم که در آن از این اشعار استفاده شده بود طبق یک نظر سنجی استقبال مردمی بسیار زیاد بود و مردم این برنامه را مفید دانسته بودند استفاده از هنر در آموزش پزشکی بسیار مهم است برای مثال در مطالعهBell LT و همکاران نشان داده شده است که استفاده از بیان هنری در آموزش مطالب پیچیده کمک زیادی به دانشجویان پزشکی نموده است و به نظر دانشجویان ارتباط محکمی بین پزشکی و هنر وجود داردو از نظر آنان هنر میتواند در اموزش پزشکی نقش بسزایی داشته باشد(3) اخیرا از هنر به طور فزایندهتری دردرمان یا آموزش پزشکی استفاده شده است مطالعات متعددی نشان داده اند که خلاقیت های هنری میتواند حتی در کاهش دردهای مزمن بیماران موثر باشد و درد های آنها را تخفیف دهد(5،4) اساساً نحوه ارتباط با بیماران و خانواده های آنان برای موفقیت پزشکان و پرسنل پزشکی بسیار حائز اهمیت است و این خود یک هنر است(7،6) در این روش آموزشی ما مفاهیم آموزشی را در قالب هنری به جامعه عرضه کردیم و نتایج آنرا خصوصاً برای طبقات مختلف جامعه و گروه های مختلف سنی بسیار مفید ارزیابی کرده ایم از نظر سطح اثرگذاری گرچه در شهر قم و دانشگاه علوم پزشکی بوده است ولی از این روش میتوان در تمام شهرهای ایران و حتی با فرمت های مشابه در سایر ممالک استفاده کرد در واقع این شیوه آموزشی به نوعی نوآوری و خلاقیت در آموزش علوم پزشکی محسوب شده و از نظر انطباق با سیاست های بالادستی ما را به مرجعیت علمی در آموزش علوم پزشکی نزدیک می سازد خصوصاً که روحیه مردم کشور عزیز ما ایران همواره با شعر از دیرباز عجین بوده است و در این میان این شیوه آموزشی خصوصاً برای اطفال بسیار اثر بخش است و میتوان پیام های بهداشتی و پزشکی را با زبان شعر آنهم در قالب صحیح و برگرفته از صحیح ترین اصول علمی از طریق وسایل مختلف ارتباط جمعی به جامعه عرضه کرد و حتی با ترجمه این کتب این فرهنگ را به سایر ممالک صادر کرد از نظر قابلیت تعمیم و اجراء در سایر مراکز آموزشی: از این روش قطعا میتوان در تمامی زمینه ها ی پزشکی – پرستاری – بهداشت و حتی سایر رشته های غیر پزشکی ماند مهندسی – علوم اجتماعی و استفاده کرد و با ترجمه این کتب حتی میتوان این فرهنگ را به سایر ملل صادر کرد از نظر استمرار این شیوه آموزش بسیار پویا و مستمر بوده و هم اینک از این شیوه آموزشی در مراکز بهداشتی درمانی و آزمایشگاه ها و برخی از مدارس سراسر ایران استفاده میشود
