Sažetak
Clinical skills’ training is arguably the weakest point in
medical schools’ curriculum. This study briefly describes
how we at the Split University School of Medicine cope
with this problem. We consider that, over the last decades,
a considerable advancement in teaching methodologies,
tools, and assessment of students has been made. However,
there are many unresolved issues, most notably: (i)
the institutional value system, impeding the motivation of
the teaching staff; (ii) lack of a strong mentoring system;
(iii) organization, timing, and placement of training in the
curriculum; (iv) lack of publications pertinent to training;
and (v) unwillingness of patients to participate in student
training. To improve the existing training models we suggest
increased institutional awareness of obstacles, as well
as willingness to develop mechanisms for increasing the
motivation of faculty. It is necessary to introduce changes
in the structure and timing of training and to complement
it with a catalog, practicum, and portfolio of clinical
skills. At Split University School of Medicine, we developed
a new paradigm aimed to improve the teaching of clinical
skills called “Neptune-CSS,” which stands for New Paradigm
in Training of Undergraduate Clinical Skills in Split.
