TRANSCRIPT
MEDICAL STUDENTS’ KNOWLEDGE OF
HEALTH ECONOMICSwhat should they know …
what do they know …
BSc (intercalating) undergrad project
Teaching Health Economics
General consensus about what undergraduate economics and postgraduate economics/HSR/ public health students need to know
General competency among us to teach this (see one, do one, teach one)
Growth in demand for health economics teaching
Not just “economists” who are interested
Medical students/nurses/physiotherapists are “interested”
Public Health Training (MFPH Part A) Scottish Doctor (Learning outcome for
basic, social and clinical sciences and underlying principles )
Raises the questions
What to teach? Who to teach it? When to teach it?
Personal experience of Nottingham, UEA and now Glasgow
Student Project
Reviews of the literature and documentation
Interviews with teaching staff (Pilot) survey of three medical schools
Analysis of the survey multi choice questions will be scored comparisons across schools/years
Issues
Pedagogy of learning Problem Based Learning (PBL) How does Health Economics fit into
this What do they need to know?
Costs, benefits, ICERs, WTP Demand, supply, cost curves Health funding, organisation Grossman model
What next?
Newcastle University and NICE are looking at establishing a teaching package
But still the issue of what to teach And who should teach it (anyone if a
“package” exists) Larger survey to establish the
extent of the “problem”
