An Experiment in Outpatient Subspecialty Medical Student Education.

MacKinney, Archie A., Jr.

Teaching and Learning in Medicine, v5 n1 p44-48 1993

A one-month subspecialty outpatient clinic program for third-year medical students is described. The clerkship featured high volume (60-70 patients) clinical practice, library research (12 short papers), and close mentor supervision. Pre- and posttest scores did not distinguish participants from others, but participants later reported improved library research skills as an important gain. (Author/MSE)
