Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this study was to determine if there is a difference in perceptions of clinical clerkship education between professors, who are the primary decision makers in medical school clinical clerkship education, and medical students, who are taking their first steps as future healthcare providers.
 Methods A survey was conducted among 66 students and 60 professors who participated in clinical training in the Department of Medicine at Ewha Womans University in Seoul, Korea, and analyzed using independent sample t-tests and cross-over analysis.
 Results First, the student group perceived the satisfaction and appropriateness of clinical education more positively than the faculty group. Second, the faculty group perceived the clinical education environment sub-component “readiness of the environment” more positively than the student group. Some of the sub-factors such as learning, relationships, and space also showed significant mean differences between the student and faculty groups. Third, when we examined the differences between faculty and students in the achievement of practice skills.
