The need for basic medical science knowledge in clinical setting: perspective of early clinicians

Abstract

Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate the opinions of research assistants working in clinical departments about basic medical sciences education and their tendency in career choices. Methods: The study was conducted on 110 research assistants working in the internal and surgical medical sciences. The data were obtained by using a questionnaire developed by the researcher and based on volunteering. Results: When the study group was asked about the field of basic medical sciences they used most during their professional lives, physiology ranked first with 36.8% (n=32). 73.2% of the participants responded to the proposition that I need basic medical science knowdelge in my specialty. 43.1% of the participants agreed with the statement that I absolutely did not want to do specialty training in the field of basic medical sciences. Conclusion: It was thought that basic medical sciences curriculum should be structured according to the needs of clinical sciences. The positive opinion on basic medical education does not reflect on career choice.
