Evaluation of critical analysis, technical writing, and research skills in medical education, Dominican Republic

AuthorshipSCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

Introduction:   The training of future physicians should emphasize the acquisition of fundamental skills, such as critical analysis, written and oral communication, and applied research techniques, to prepare them to address emerging health topics. However, an inconsistency remains in how these skills are incorporated into global medical education.

Objective:   Identify the incorporation of three skill sets (critical analysis, technical writing, research) in medical school curricula in the Dominican Republic, analyze similarities and differences between programs, and propose recommendations on the inclusion of these skills.

Methods:   Using techniques in document analysis, a qualitative study was conducted to evaluate the subjects (ethics; public health; research; thesis; community clinical rotations; electives) related to the three skill sets, within the 11 medical school programs. Authors used data triangulation collected by qualitative methods and constructed a table to present the similarities and differences between programs, based on the subjects related to the three skill sets, incorporating feedback from institutional representatives. Content and thematic analysis were used to identify salient themes associated with the proposed recommendations to incorporate three skill sets in curricula and strengthen medical education.

Results:   A total of 11 universities demonstrated a relevant geographic distribution, academic accreditation, diverse disciplines per program, scientific journals, and a comprehensive list of subjects related to the three skill sets. Seven recommendations were proposed as a call to action to incorporate and strengthen the three skill sets within medical school curricula.

Conclusion:   This study highlights the robust, well-structured medical school curricula, which incorporate three skill sets, support the training of physicians in the Dominican Republic. Medical education leaders have the obligation to evaluate curricula gaps and integrate relevant revisions that consider emerging global risks and trends (like One Health) in medical school curricula.
