摘要：Purpose:A task force identified 4 core properties of motivation-related improvement and developed a medical volunteer program for 63 medical freshmen in 2012. Three overarching topics were examined:What were the contents of the program? Did students' motivation improve? Were the students satisfied with the course? Pretest and posttest motivation levels and program evaluation forms were analyzed. Methods:We organized a series of committee meetings and identified 4 core factors of motivation. The program was conducted for 63 medical freshmen in March 2012. The program evaluation form was analyzed using SPSS 17.0. Results:The core factors of motivation were interest in medical studies,volunteer-mindedness,medical humanities,and self-management. The program was composed of lectures,medical volunteer hours,and program evaluation and feedback sessions. Students’ motivation differed significantly with regard to interest in medical studies (t=-2.40,p=0.020) and volunteer-mindedness (t=-3.45,p=0.001). Ninety percent of students were satisfied with the program,67.8% of students were satisfied with the medical volunteer activity, and the feedback session of the program was meaningful (66.1%). Conclusion:The medical volunteer program,held in the first month of the medical education year,was meaningful,but the reasons for dissatisfaction with the program should be examined. We should also develop a system that has lasting beneficial effects on academic achievement and career selection.
