Abstract
Abstract Objective: The purpose of this study was to gain insight into the perceptions of medical students for physical diagnosis and clinical integration (PDCI) courses during their preclerkship education. Methods: The study was conducted at Oman Medical College, Sohar with senior medical students in clinical clerkships, who had taken PDCI courses as part of their preclerkship education. A total of 35 senior students consented to participate in the questionnaire-based study. The questionnaire was a pre-tested, self-administered tool with a 5-point Likert scale. The data were collected, tabulated, and statistically analyzed. Results: The clerkship students had consistently positive perceptions about the value and utility of the preclerkship PDCI courses. Conclusion: The PDCI course curriculum appears to be an effective method for enhancing student performance in the clinical clerkships.
