Abstract
In 2001, traditional Japanese (Kampo) medicine was included in the Japanese medical schoolsâ?? model core curriculum. The original concepts of Kampo medicine for the treatment of various diseases involve the use of history taking and unique physical examinations including abdominal diagnosis. Recently, simulators of abdominal diagnosis (hereafter referred to as â??abdominal simulatorsâ?) were developed and have been incorporated in Kampo medicine training. This study aimed to assess the influence of hands-on training with lectures using abdominal simulators on Kampo medicine education in medical students. Fifty-one medical students (grade; 1st to 6th; mean age, 23.1 years; male: 33; female: 18) underwent training. First, they palpated 7 types of abdominal simulators and answered a test after receiving basic lectures on abdominal diagnosis. Then, they palpated same simulators and answered the test again after receiving detailed lectures on abdominal diagnosis. The correct answer rates in the tests taken after basic and detailed lectures were compared. The total correct answer rates for abdominal signs with the simulators significantly increased after the detailed lecture (78.2% vs. 94.4%, p<0.001). The total correct answer rates for formulae related to the abdominal signs also increased after the detailed lecture (21.8% vs. 59.7%, p<0.001). Lectures with abdominal simulator training can promote studentsâ?? understanding of Kampo medicine. Lectures using abdominal simulators can promote studentsâ?? understanding of abdominal diagnosis. Kampo formulae are selected on the basis of physical examinations; therefore, simulation training will be useful in education of medical students.Biography
