Abstract
Four categories of medical student attitudes were measured: attitudes toward psychiatry and psychiatrists; treatability of psychiatric patients; likeability of psychiatric patients; attitudes toward the medical profession. Albert Einstein College of Medicine (AECM) students showed preto post-clerkship positive attitude change in their attitude toward psychiatry and psychiatrists and treatability of psychiatric patients. Ben-Gurion University (Israel) students showed no changes in attitude scores. Analysis of 14 items considered especially relevant to the clerkship experience indicated that the clerkship tended to strengthen pre-existing positive attitudes with no change in negative attitudes.
