Abstract
During a required clinical clerkship in psychiatry, medical students participate in a self-paced Personalized Study Program consisting of: (1) structured reading assignments; (2) private meetings with a tutor; (3) standardized practice quizzes; (4) immediate remedial feedback; (5) optional use of audiovisual materials and attendance at lectures; (6) a written final examination; and (7) continuous monitoring by a faculty committee. National Board Examination scores in psychiatry have dramatically increased, and evaluations by students have been overwhelmingly favorable. An important factor in our success has been the enthusiasm of the tutors, who include full-time and volunteer faculty psychiatrists, residents, and selected medical students.
