Role models of medical students : “Who is your role model?”for second grade students

目的：具体的な行動や考え方の模範となる人物である｢ロールモデル｣を持つことは,学習意欲を向上させ,医学教育でのその重要性が高まっている.今回,医学生に自分のロールモデルを挙げてもらい,その内容を分析し,ロールモデルに関連した医学教育のあり方について検討した.方法：2013年,山口大学医学部医学科2年生に対して,ロールモデルについての授業を行った.学生に各自3名までロールモデルを挙げてもらい,グループワークを通じて情報共有した,結果：138名の人物がロールモデルとして挙げられた.主な職業は,専門医,研究者,総合診療医･地域医療,文化人,開業医の順で,メディア等で著名な者が多くを占めていた.女性は16名,山口大学の教員は11名(うち臨床系教員は2名)であった.結論：学生は多様なロールモデルを持っていたが,学内の臨床教員や女性医師がロールモデルになりえていない課題も明らかになった.女性医師や臨床医等の身近なロールモデルを提示する必要がある.

Objectives:Role models, that is, persons whose behavior, example, or success are or can be emulated by others, are increasingly important in medical education. A class asking medical students about their role models was conducted, and career education related to role models in medical schools is discussed.Methods:I had the class for second grade students of Yamaguchi University School of Medicine in 2013. The class consisted of introduction of the concept of role models, homework considering the students’role models, and group discussion. The students’role models were analyzed.Results:A total of 138 persons were given as role models, including mainly specialists, researchers, general physicians, family doctors and academics. Most of them were well known, such as through the media. The role models included 16 women and 11 faculty members(9 basic scientists and 2 clinicians)of Yamaguchi University.Conclusions:The students considered various persons as their role models. However, there were only a few immediate clinicians and female doctors. In medical education, students need more opportunities for contact with possible role models, especially women and clinicians at the university.
