摘要
Short international survey has been done among the members of International Society for Pathophysiology. 42 to 46 valid answers,which came from 22 countries,were accumulated and analyzed. The average of teaching hours of pathophysiology course in various curricula is 146 out of 5 788 total teaching hours of medical curricula (lecture 58,seminars 44,practical 52). Average teaching materials consist of 863 pages of obligatory texts and 1 225 pages of recommended materials. An estimated students' 'study time' for successful mastering of the exam is 164 hours (along with 146 contact teaching/learning hours). A survey concerning an educational profile of the pathophysiologist (A),contents of teaching (B),a selective advantage of pathophysiology teaching (C) and personal advise of pathophysiologists with respect of educational curricula (D) have been quantified by number 1 through 10; one being the weakest and ten being the strongest. Each of the survey features (A through D) was described in advance by 8 different statements,among which participants gave their 'intensity of support' using numerical values 1-10. The outcome indicates that the best profile of pathophysiologists' education scheme is that with 'MD + PhD + postdoctoral training + any residency' (score 8.57) and weakest profile 'PhD in the field of molecular biology' (4.93). The strongest 'power and relevance of pathophysiology' has been given to type of the subject which '…represents an integrative frame of reference describing common principles of disease' (8.59),whereas the weakest to the 'It leads to the evidence based practice and reduces medical costs' (7.65). With reference to the teaching contents the highest rank was given to 'Symptoms/signs/dysfunctions correlations with molecular nature of etiopathogenetic processes' (8.67),whereas the weakest points were given to 'quantitative aspects of etiopathogenetic processes' (6.60). When pathophysiologists were asked to give 'an educated opinion' to his/her son to what kind of medical curricula is the most advisable the curriculum with 'preclinical courses + clinical courses + public health courses' was given 7.96 as the highest. The curriculum described as 'Therapy centered education,in which courses are organized according to the groups of therapeutical procedures and types of therapies (e.g. surgical procedures,antibiotics,etc.)' was selected the weakest (4.64).
