Abstract:
Background: This research was birthed in 2017 during a trip to Lusaka, Zambia, with the purpose of offering fourth-year, medical students attending the University of Zambia, School of Medicine, lectures on psychology topics as part of their clinical studies. Students were also offered brief therapy sessions where they could process thoughts and feelings causing them internal struggles. The subject of offering counseling on a regular basis was randomly discussed with the students. From these discussions the need for this research became evident, with the intent of becoming the launching pad to brainstorm the most effective ways of developing a plan to offer counseling services for all medical students attending the University of Zambia School of Medicine. Methods: An-experimental research design, consisting of completion of a 12-item questionnaire administered by paper and pen. The inclusion criteria were the fourth year, medical students attending the University of Zambia, School of Medicine. Results: The student responses revealed that most of them had little to no experience with counseling services, but a strong desire for them. Discussion: The goal of this study was to simply establish a need for an on-campus counseling service, the need of which has been established by the very students who would benefit. With the acceptance of this need, the future plan is to explore the different ways in which this need can be fulfilled with minimal costs to the Medical School Program. Conclusion: This study is the first step towards identifying the needs of the medical students and sets the ground-work for further research into the specific areas of need and mental health challenges. More specificity in the area of demographics of students will produce a more comprehensive picture of the areas of concentration for the therapists offering services.

Abstract:
9558 Background: Due to challenges in the delivery of pediatric oncology care in low-middle income countries (LMIC), diagnosis and treatment remains inadequate for the majority of patients. The University of Zambia School of Medicine/University Teaching Hospital (UTH) and Vanderbilt University School of Medicine/Vanderbilt Institute for Global Health established a partnership to investigate treatment outcomes at UTH, the only institution providing pediatric oncology care in Zambia, and assess risk factors associated with treatment abandonment. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted in a cohort of patients, presenting from July 2008 – June 2010, using an established database and medical record review. Results: Of the 230 children enrolled in the database, 162 met the inclusion criteria. The average age at diagnosis was 6.0 years; males comprised 55.6% of the cohort; 51.6% had a histopathological diagnosis and 10.5% of the cohort was HIV positive. The most common diagnoses were lymphoma (25.9%), Wilms tumor (22.8%), and retinoblastoma (17.9%). Leukemia and Kaposi sarcoma accounted for 7.4% each. Death (46.3%) and abandonment of treatment (45.7%) were the most common outcomes with only 8.0% having completed treatment or currently undergoing treatment, including palliative regimens, at the time of data acquisition. Residence in Lusaka or Central provinces, closest in proximity to UTH, was associated with a decreased risk for abandonment of treatment (Odds Ratio (OR) 0.41 (95% CI 0.21-0.81, p = 0.009) while maternal education less than secondary school (OR 2.73 95% CI 1.2-6.6, p = 0.03) was associated with an increased risk for abandonment of treatment. Conclusions: At the only pediatric cancer center in Zambia, treatment outcomes are dire with the majority of the cohort abandoning treatment or dying during therapy. Challenges include access to cancer chemotherapy, logistical facilitation, fiscal support of radiotherapy, and community engagement. Further investigation is required to inform effective intervention strategies to improve outcomes.

Abstract:
It aimed to compare the study skills of two groups of undergraduate pharmacy students in the School of Medicine, University of Zambia using the Study Skills Assessment Questionnaire (SSAQ), with the goal of analysing students’ study skills and identifying factors that affect study skills. A questionnaire was distributed to 67 participants from both programs using stratified random sampling. Completed questionnaires were rated according to participants study skill. The total scores and scores within subscales were analysed and compared quantitatively. Questionnaires were distributed to 37 students in the regular program, and to 30 students in the parallel program. The response rate was 100%. Students had moderate to good study skills: 22 respondents (32.8%) showed good study skills, while 45 respondents (67.2%) were found to have moderate study skills. Students in the parallel program demonstrated significantly better study skills (mean SSAQ score, 185.4±14.5), particularly in time management and writing, than the students in the regular program (mean SSAQ score 175±25.4; P<0.05). No significant differences were found according to age, gender, residential or marital status, or level of study. The students in the parallel program had better time management and writing skills, probably due to their prior work experience. The more intensive training to students in regular program is needed in improving time management and writing skills.

Abstract:
Abstract Background To mitigate the HIV pandemic and increasing outbreaks of infectious diseases, sub-Saharan African countries need increased healthcare worker capacity at all levels. We describe a successful collaboration between the Ministry of Health (MOH), the University Teaching Hospital (UTH), the University of Zambia (UNZA), and the University of Maryland Baltimore (UMB) to train Zambian physicians in advanced HIV medicine and infectious diseases. Methods Recognizing the need for advanced HIV clinical care expertise in Zambia, UNZA, UTH and UMB partnered in 2008 to create a 1-year Postgraduate Diploma in HIV Medicine. The consortium extended this to an 18-month Master of Science in HIV Medicine to better align with existing professional advancement schema. In 2012, UNZA and UMB started a 4-year Master of Medicine in infectious diseases (MMedID), which was then expanded to a 5-year training program combining internal medicine and infectious disease (MMed IM/ID) in order to produce a cadre with wider expertise in internal medicine and infectious diseases. Instruction consists of bedside teaching, didactic lectures, case conferences, and journal clubs. The bulk of teaching came from UMB clinical faculty with expertise in HIV and ID; faculty are either based in Zambia or visit from the United States. Results The MSc HIV program trained 27 physicians; of these, 24 (89%) are in health leadership positions in Zambia, with 17 (63%) directly involved in clinical care (mostly in the public sector), while 7 (15%) work for international implementing partners in Zambia. 1 physician emigrated to another African country, another one died and the third is in clinical nonleadership position in Zambia. The MMed ID program has enrolled 14 physicians. The first two graduates of the program completed the program in 2017 and took health leadership roles within the MOH as well as teaching positions at UNZA. Conclusion Educational collaborations embedded within local institutions and structures can provide advanced healthcare expertise within resource-limited settings. The UNZA/UMB MMed IM/ID collaboration is a model example of a successful university partnership that has resulted in retaining health leadership and clinical care expertise in Zambia. Disclosures L.

Abstract:
Background: The issue of antibiotic resistance has become a global public health concern, with an extensive clinical and economic burden. The study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practices of antibiotic resistance among undergraduate medical students at the University of Zambia.Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at the University of Zambia Ridgeway Campus. A structured questionnaire was administered to 260 randomly selected undergraduate medical students. Data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 22.0. Associations between dependent and independent variables were done using a Chi-square test. The statistical significance was done at 95% confidence level (p<0.05). Ethical approval was done by the University of Zambia Health Sciences Research Ethics Committee.Results: The study found that 227 of 260 (87.3%) of the medical students had good knowledge on antibiotic use and resistance. The majority of the medical students 252 of 260 (96.9%) had positive attitudes and 195 of 260 (75%) had good practices towards antibiotic resistance. There was a significant difference between the year of study and the level of knowledge (χ2=16.333, p=0.003). There was no significant difference between the year of study and the attitude of the participants (χ2=4.061, p=0.398). A significant difference was found between the year of study and the practices of the respondents (χ2=10.926, p=0.027).Conclusions: The medical students had good knowledge, a positive attitude, and good practices towards antibiotic resistance. Final year students had higher levels of knowledge and attitude but lower levels of practice compared to other years of study.

Abstract:
Background. Good sleep quality is cardinal to good health, and research has shown that it plays a fundamental role in immunity, learning, metabolism, and other biological functions. Energy drink consumption is a popular practice among college students in the United States. There has been little research done on the consumption of energy drinks and its effects in Zambian universities. The main objective was to determine the effects of energy drinks on sleep quality among students at the Copperbelt University School of Medicine. A self-administered questionnaire was administered to 195 undergraduate students at the Copperbelt University School of Medicine in their second- and third-year of study. Energy drink consumption and sleep quality were assessed by univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analyses. 157 students were enrolled into the study. The prevalence of energy drink consumption was 27.4% among participants. Studying for an exam was the most common reason for drinking energy drinks (83.7% of energy drink users). The majority of participants were found to be have poor sleep quality (59.6%). There was a statistically significant association between energy drink consumption and poor sleep quality (p value < 0.01). The findings of our study show that energy drink consumption is not a common practice in the Zambian university setting as the prevalence was 27.4%. Furthermore, the prevalence of poor sleep quality among Zambian university students is high and is significantly associated with energy drink consumption, and there is a need to better understand the patterns of energy drink use as well as their effects on various aspects of health including sleep quality in the Zambian setting. Further research should assess the knowledge of nonmedical students on the effects of energy drinks.

Abstract:
This study analysed the learning environment of undergraduate medical and health sciences students of the School of Medicine University of Zambia who were studying at the Ridgeway Campus. Premised on the theory that learner’s perception of the learning environment determines approach to learning and learning outcome, the study utilized a descriptive, quantitative, and non-experimental design to articulate the issues that characterise the learning environment of the programmes. The aim was to provide framework based on these, and use it to propose a strategy for improving the learning environment of the School. The Dundee Ready Educational Environment Measure (DREEM) questionnaire was administered to 448 participants from year 2 to year 7 classes of medicine, pharmacy, and physiotherapy programmes. Total DREEM, subscale, and individual items’ scores were analysed statistically and compared by analysis of variance among the programmes. The issues determined formed the framework for strategy development, and strategic options were proposed based on evidence obtained from literature. With a global DREEM score of 119.3 ± 21.24 (59.7 %), the students perceived their learning environment as “more positive than negative.” One sample binomial test of hypothesis for categorical variables returned a p value <0.05, with a verdict to ‘reject the null hypothesis,’ thereby confirming a more positive than negative perception. Subscale scores also showed ‘more positive’ perception. There were no significant differences between scores from the different programmes when compared by Games Howell test, P> 0.05, thereby upholding the second hypothesis. Analysis of individual items revealed problems in six items, which were summarised into four strategic ssues: inadequate social support for stressed students, substandard teaching and mentoring, unpleasant accommodation, and inadequate physical facilities. The implications of the findings for theory and practice were discussed and strategic options proposed to address the issues. The study concludes that analysis of the learning environment of medical schools provides more insight for strategic planning and management.

Abstract:
After mid-century, university hospitals became more involved in research and the care of patients with very serious illnesses. This new orientation has created financial, teaching, and patient-care problems. In order to obtain access to more patients and patients with ordinary illnesses, medical schools affiliated with veterans’ and community hospitals. Many of these hospitals have become similar to university hospitals as a result. Medical schools experienced a serious shortage of facilities in their customary teaching hospitals after 1950. Many university hospitals had few beds or set aside many of their beds for the private patients of the faculty. Patients admitted for research purposes had serious or life-threatening diseases instead of the commonplace disorders needed for training medical students. The public hospitals affiliated with medical schools had heavy patient-care obligations that reduced their teaching and research activities. To obtain the use of more beds, medical schools affiliated with more community and public hospitals. The closeness of the affiliation has varied as a function of the ability of the medical school to appoint the hospital staff, the number of patients who could be used in teaching, and the type of students—residents and/or undergraduate medical students—who could be taught there. In 1962, 85 medical schools had 269 close or major affiliations and 180 limited affiliations with hospitals. Fifty-one of the hospitals with major affiliations were university hospitals and 100 others gave medical schools the exclusive right to appoint the hospital staffs. Dependence on university hospitals has continued to decline so that in 1975, only 60 of 107 medical schools owned 1 or more teaching hospitals, with an average of 600 total beds. All of the medical schools averaged 5.5 major affiliated hospitals, which provided an average of 2,800 beds per school. Public medical schools were more likely to own hospitals than private schools (39 of 62 public schools compared to 21 of 45 private schools), but they averaged fewer affiliated hospitals (5.1 compared to 6.0). In 1982, 419 hospitals were members of the Council of Teaching Hospitals (COTH), of which only 64 were university hospitals. Members of COTH included 84 state or municipal hospitals, 71 Veterans Administration and 3 other federal hospitals, and 261 voluntary or other nonpublic hospitals.

Abstract:
Harvard’s nine professional schools were on the cutting edge of its evolution from a Brahmin to a meritocratic university. Custom, tradition, and the evergreen memory of the alumni weighed less heavily on them than on the College. And the professions they served were more interested in their current quality than their past glory. True, major differences of size, standing, wealth, and academic clout separated Harvard’s Brobdingnagian professional faculties—the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences and the Schools of Medicine, Law, and Business— from the smaller, weaker Lilliputs—Public Health and Dentistry, Divinity, Education, Design, Public Administration. But these schools had a shared goal of professional training that ultimately gave them more in common with one another than with the College and made them the closest approximation of Conant’s meritocratic ideal. Harvard’s doctoral programs in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences (GSAS) were a major source of its claim to academic preeminence. As the Faculty of Arts and Sciences became more research and discipline minded, so grew the importance of graduate education. A 1937 ranking of graduate programs in twenty-eight fields—the lower the total score, the higher the overall standing—provided a satisfying measure of Harvard’s place in the American university pecking order: But there were problems. Money was short, and while graduate student enrollment held up during the Depression years of the early 1930s (what else was there for a young college graduate to do?), academic jobs became rare indeed. Between 1926–27 and 1935–36, Yale appointed no Harvard Ph.D. to a junior position. The Graduate School itself was little more than a degree-granting instrument, with no power to appoint faculty, no building, no endowment, and no budget beyond one for its modest administrative costs. Graduate students identified with their departments, not the Graduate School. Needless to say, the GSAS deanship did not attract the University’s ablest men. Conant in 1941 appointed a committee to look into graduate education, and historian Arthur M. Schlesinger, Sr., “called for a thoroughgoing study without blinders.

"to trends in a profession which has incurred lessened emphasis on human contact as price for gaining control over disease through technology and laboratory resources. This new speciality clearly has its controversial components. The rhetoric of family medicine and its coverage by the mass media have served as a readily available symbol for a new version of personalized medicine. For some, this specialty is a move into a new direction of sophisticated caring, while to others it symbolizes a return to old-fashioned virtues of human concern. Within the health field itself, family medicine has evoked controversy. Its very existence has visibly influenced certain specialties such as internal medicine and pediatrics; one consequence is the trend of developing programs in primary care within these disciplines. In some states, legislatures have voted funds specifically earmarked to support family medicine, frequently governed by the perception that fostering family medicine is tantamount to providing physicians for rural America and other heretofore medically underserved areas. The spectrum of images identified with family medicine ranges from appearing as the great hope of holistic concerns in health care to being labeled a short-lived fluff and fashion. Questions need to be raised about how this new specialty fares when medical students choose their careers. Anticipatory perceptions and interests, held at the point of entry into medical school, need to be explored. These views and preferences must be monitored as they are exposed to the various socializing influences of the medical school career. A longitudinal study of medical student career choices, conducted at a midwestern state university, suggests certain suggestive insights into this issue. Although this study is designed to explore the entire range of specialty choices by medical students and to examine the factors underlying the selection of rural or urban practice sites, certain initial findings are specifically applicable to the choice of family medicine. Briefly, the design of the study involves the administration of a number of data collection instruments to medical students at the beginning of their first and second years, and then again at the end of their fourth year (Liccione & McAllister, 1974). Among the instruments used is the Colwill Medical Specialty Perception Inventory, which was administered at the end of the first year and at the end of the fourth year of the students' progression through the medical school. During the third and fourth years of this progression, in-depth interviews were conducted with each student. It is during this time that students rotate through eight-week clinical blocks of each major medical subspecialty. The interviews were systematically distributed to be associated with the range of clinical blocks. Each student was interviewed in connection with one of the blocks in his or her rotation; one interview before and one after the desig-." In Family Medicine, 92–98.

Abstract:
As a dynamic transformation of the economy, companies put pressure on universities and other educational suppliers to deliver the labor force with new knowledge and skills required, to ensure their innovation and competitiveness. Because of these dynamics, students are also under pressure when they must decide about future jobs. There is also confusion in the mind of young adult that needs to bear the influence of public media, social media, online communities about the personal development in regional, national, or global environment. In this case, universities and high schools have to inform about trends and perspectives of future career and support students in their choice but they lack of communication capabilities or marketing aspects are overestimated. Our study is based on an online survey with more than 500 participants from Mures county high schools during the 2018-2019 academic year. Most of the student wants to continue their study at university 83,2 %. As a preferential channel of information about university programs students voted as very useful, university websites and meetings with representatives of faculties. The main fields students interested in are: business, engineering, informatics, medicine, public administration and law. Around 13.4% of the high school students intend to continue their study abroad. Almost half of the respondents have clear idea of study program to be chosen. Regarding the influence factors of their choice, family and acquaintances who are already university students have the higher impact rather than colleagues, friends and professors. When referring to criteria for choosing the future university, they favor the number of tax-free places and international mobility. Generally, we can say that students consider university the most important next step in their future career and they proof themselves rather independent to decide about this step. Our study also emphasizes significant levels of indecision and we will deepen our further research for better understanding of the phenomenon.
