Leichter Zugang, schneller Abgang: Private Medizinhochschulen erscheinen als interessanter Beitrag, um die Knappheit an ärztlichem Nachwuchs zu lindern. Doch inwieweit ihre Ausbildungskompetenz seriösen Standards entspricht, ist umstritten.

Despite the traditional link between Judaism & medicine, & despite the new Coll's auspicious beginnings, the Einstein Coll of Medicine at Yeshiva U continues to stir controversy within the Jewish community. There are rumors that classes are held on Friday night & on Saturday, that the library is open on Saturday, that Orthodox boys encounter discrimination at admissions interviews, that wearing a skullcap on the premises is discouraged, & that it is hard to get kosher food at the Coll. None of these is true. On the other hand, the orthodox Jewish community is not really ready for a modern medical Sch & the Einstein faculty was not yet fully adjusted to the idea of working in a Sch under Jewish auspices.

Abstract: Introduction: Surgery is an important curricular component of undergraduate medical courses. This study was conducted because the surgery course load in Brazilian medical has not been systematically explored at the national level. Objective: To analyze the surgery course load in Brazilian medical schools. Method: A cross-sectional, descriptive study was carried out with Brazilian medical schools acknowledged by the Ministry of Education, which had begun their activities prior to December 31, 2017 and, as of September 2018, had their curriculum matrix and/or political-pedagogical project with the surgery course load available on the internet. The variables studied were total medical curriculum course load and surgery course load before and during clerkship, as well as the schools' geographic region and fee status. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistic Student t-test, analysis of variance, and Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis tests, with the null hypothesis rejected for p < .05. Results: The study included 205 of the country's 323 existing medical schools, of which 175 had available information on the surgery course load during the clerkship, 157 before the clerkship, and 129 had information on course load before and after the clerkship. The median total surgery course load in hours was 815.0 (P25 - 75 = 677.5 - 992.0; minimum = 340.0 h; maximum =1,665.0), while the mean surgery course load before clerkship in hours was 268.7 (SD = 140.3; minimum = 32.0; maximum = 780.0), with no difference between geographic regions or fee status. During the clerkship, the median course load was 540.0 hours (P25 - 75 = 400.0 - 712.0; minimum = 170.0 h; maximum = 1,410.0), with no difference between geographic regions, but with higher values in medical schools with no tuition fees. Regarding the total curriculum course load, the mean percentage of the surgery course load before clerkship was 3.2% (SD = 1.7), the median percentage during the clerkship was 6.4% (P25 - 75 = 5.0 - 8.2), the median percentage of the total surgery course load was 6.4% (P25 - 75 = 5.0 - 8.2%, and the median percentage of surgery course load (both periods) was 9.7% (P25 - 75 = 8.3 - 11.8%). Conclusions: Despite the considerable variation in the surgery course load limits, the median of total surgery and the mean of surgery course load before clerkship were similar across geographic regions and fee statuses. The median surgery course load during clerkship was also similar across regions but higher in tuition-free medical schools. The values found in this study can help schools' administrators to assess and plan the surgery course load in their institutions.
