Preparing educators for problem-based and community-based curricula: a student's experiences.

Abstract

The Department of Nursing at the University of Natal Durban (UND) introduced a one year Masters Degree in Progressive Education for Health Professionals in 1996, the aim of which is to prepare educators of health professionals to understand better innovative methods of teaching, learning and more specifically problem-based learning (PBL) and community-based education (CBE). The author of this paper is a registered nurse and this paper focuses on her experiences as a student in this programme. Most of the experiences gained are related to the use of a Personal and Academic Development Portfolio, which covered activities from both her own classes and those related to facilitation of basic student's learning.

Integrated health care systems governance: prevention of illness and care for the sick and injured.

The public health aspects of promotion of health and prevention of illness take on a different vision when one moves from biological concerns to social and societal dyscrasias. Social illness is as much the concern of a hospital system board and its medical staff as the biomedical dyscrasias which are the traditional concerns of public health agencies. An organizational entity under a board of trustee's auspices must become involved because all social illnesses end up requiring physician and hospital care.
