SECTION I: SELF-EVALUATION 44 the aims and content of a modern curriculum of pharmacology for medical students. The textbooks are currently in use in the department, and are the following: • L. Allikmets, L. Nurmand. Pharmacology, Tartu, 1996, 670 pp, • L. Allikmets, L. Nurmand. Compendium Pharmacologicum. Tartu, 2000, 145 pp, • M.-H. Otter, L. Nurmand. P. Pokk. Basics of Drug Prescription. Tartu, 2000, 103 pp, and others. During past few years we started the process of transition toward use of electronic multimedia in a teaching process. Currently there are available the following courses (in Estonian) on-line: • Drug toxicology course (A.Zharkovsky, A. Kalda, A.Kaasik) • Pharmacology course for the students of dentistry (A. Zharkovsky, T. Zharkovsky, A. Kalda) • Electronic textbook in pharmacology "Ravim" (Drug) (A.Zharkovsky, P. Pokk, T. Kivastik, A. Lang). Weaknesses The weak point in our teaching process is our inability to provide all students with lab work, and via this methodology to demonstrate students how problems could solved scientifically. 3. Describe the innovations in your teaching. The availability of modern textbooks of pharmacology (the latest previous edition was from 1982) has allowed a reduction in the number of lectures and a corresponding increase in the volume of problem-oriented seminars and discussions. The students taking the basic pharmacology course are about to finish their pre-clinical training, and are very eager to learn about diseases and therapy. This high level of motivation is deliberately exploited in the teaching by presenting basic pharmacological principles in a clinically oriented, problem-based context. Critical evaluation of drug therapies is being taught in a seminar or critical reading of published clinical study reports (compulsory) and on an elective course unit dealing specifically with the planning, conduct, interpretation and review of therapeutic studies. A new integrated seminar in clinical therapeutics is being offered in the 1 th semester, organised jointly with the department of Internal Medicine. There are several electives, taught by Department members: • L. Allikmets: Pharmacotherapy of infectious diseases • L. Allikmets, V. Matto: Pharmacotherapy of Mental Disorders • T. Zharkovskaja: Antiinflammatory drugs • Zharkovsky, A. Kaasik A. Kalda: Introduction to Neurotoxicology (Theoretical course)
PHARMACOLOGY • Zharkovsky, A. Kaasik A. Kalda: Introduction to Neurotoxicology (Practical course) • Zharkovsky, A. Kaasik, A. Kalda: Methodology of preclinical research in pharmacology and Drug Toxcology (Practical course). • R. Pähkla, P. Pokk: Clinical Pharmacokinetics • R. Pähkla, A. Irs: Rational Drug Therapy • M. Otter: Use of Plants in Pharmacotherapy • M. Otter: History of Pharmacology • M. Otter: Developmental Pharmacology • T. Kivastik, P.Pokk: Toxicology of Drug Dependence. 4. Name the factors which most disturb your teaching (excluding financial resources). Over the past 10 years (1990-2000) the curriculum has changed twice, 1990 and 1996. The first change was done because Estonia became independent and sum disciplines in medical curriculum had to be changed. The second change in curriculum was more detailed and devoted more to develop problem-based teaching and to give to the students to select additional elective courses. Until 1999 we worked in building constructed 200 years ago, and there were several difficulties in organising both teaching and research. In August 1999 we moved to brand new building were the lecture halls are equipped with all facilities for demonstrating materials on lectures and seminars. All three chairs in the department have educated personnel. During the past 10 years 12 people have commenced doctoral degree. Department has 3 professors, three docents and 4 senior assistants. Computer-aided learning and teaching methods have so far been utilised only to a quite limited extent. This has been partly caused by the short-term nature of the teaching time, discouraging systematic curriculum development work. There are good teaching materials in electronic form in Estonian (prof. Zharkovsky) but adoption of computer-aided methods would require a special room and considerable amount of preparatory work and self-produced written study compendia from the teachers. The teachers are able to prepare the material. II EVALUATION OF THE TEACHING 5. How is the quality of the teaching in your department evaluated? A systematic questionnaire-based student evaluation has been carried out at the end of the basic pharmacology course in the 5 th semester every other year. The questionnaire has encouraged the students to write additional comments on the teaching in a blank space reversed for non-structured answers. The results of this evaluation have been discussed in a staff meeting. 45
