Following the pandemic of the new coronavirus infection, there is a rapid demand for practical skills to deal with infectious diseases in the medical field.In conventional clinical training in medical departments, the qualities and abilities to be acquired differ depending on the clinical department selected by the student, and there is a problem in acquiring consistent practical abilities from diagnosis of infectious diseases to coping methods.Therefore, at Tokyo Medical University, an infectious disease specialist organized the entire course, and a simulation education course "Infectious Disease Practice Course" was set up in which 57 doctors from all clinical departments participated as tutors.

　The "Infectious Disease Practice Course" is a required subject in the "Clinical Practice Participatory Practice" in which four clinical departments are selected and visited from April to July of the sixth grade.In the course, as a diagnostic section, after conducting a medical interview with a simulated patient, students will discuss and present the diagnostic points together to learn the flow of test selection from discrimination.In addition, we will actually experience hand hygiene and putting on and taking off protective equipment, collect nasopharyngeal specimens using a nasal swab that is also used for COVID-6 patients, and conduct medical examinations while paying attention to infection prevention measures. Learn how to deal with it.

　It is a program that allows students to acquire practical skills to deal with infectious diseases through practical learning in which students share their thoughts and work independently while communicating clinical know-how to each group as a tutor. ing.
