Abstract
Aim The aim of this study is to introduce the revision process of Yeditepe University Faculty of Medicine (YUFM) Program Outcomes (POs) and to share the experience gained in this process. Methods In the revision process, a core consensus group of five faculty members selected from Advisory Commission of the Bologna Coordination Committee, (BCC-AC) was formed. This group undertook the work to be done during the revision process on behalf of BCC-AC. The working methods of the group are as follows: a) Small and large group discussions b) Continuous information sharing on the process c) Requesting written opinions for the created documents d) Data collection by questionnaire and e) Workshop. Results Fourteen of the POs have been rearranged according to the qualification writing rules. Three of the POs have been changed in their actions. Twenty five POs remained unchanged. The main frame of the program outcomes included three headings, on the basis of answers to the question; "What should the physician have to do when he / she carries out his / her occupation?" The headings are; 1. the basic qualifications that the physician should possess 2. values and approaches 3. self-values that must be possessed to maintain personal development. Conclusion The Program Outcomes of the YUFM have been revised with the active involvement of internal and external stakeholders. In this revision context, the current expectations from the physician and the changes in the health expectancies of the community have been described. This revision study has been realised both as a technical process and content arrangements. While community-oriented practice has been embraced in the context of healthcare services, the patient-centered and biopsychosocial approach has been adopted in the context of patient-physician relationship, as a background of program outcomes.
