A conference on ethics for obstetric and gynaecological clerkship students.

Integrating the teaching of medical ethics into medical students' clinical education is challenging, given the competing demands on students' time and the need for teaching to be clinically relevant. This paper describes a model programme for incorporating ethics teaching into the obstetrics and gynaecology clerkship for third-year medical students. The programme is taught by two attending teachers and a medical ethicist with experience teaching in the clinical setting of obstetrics and gynaecology. Objective pretests and posttests showed substantial improvement in students' knowledge, and student feedback has been very positive.

An ambulatory neurology clerkship for third-year medical students. A 20-year perspective.

Prompted by a variety of social, technologic, and economic pressures, the ambulatory teaching of medicine is having a renaissance. The required neurology clerkship at the West Virginia University School of Medicine, Morgantown, has been taught to medical students for more than 20 years in an ambulatory setting. This was initially begun out of necessity when we had no neurology residency training program. Our inpatient service was staffed by a single attending neurologist and two inexperienced medicine house staff members, usually at the postgraduate 1 and 2 levels of training. Placing the students in the ambulatory arena allowed for an equitable division of the teaching responsibility among all the attending neurologists, each of whom spent one day each week in the clinic. It soon became apparent that this was an effective teaching mode although, then, it was not in the mainstream of the inpatient-oriented philosophy of teaching medical students. We have

Changes in students' perceptions of clinical teaching as a result of general-practice clerkships.

This study investigated whether a 3-week clerkship for third-year medical students in general-practice doctors' offices changed the students' perceptions of clinical teaching. The Preceptor Evaluation Questionnaire was administered to 138 junior medical students before and after their clerkships. The result of the study indicated that the clerkship had a positive effect on the students' perceptions. This finding was not related to their experiences in other clerkships nor to the grades they received for the clerkship. The results indicate that the teaching relationship established between student and family doctor significantly affects students' perceptions of aspects of effective clinical teaching.

Clinical ophthalmology instruction for medical students

A ten-day ophthalmology clerkship for third-year medical students is described. The curriculum, detailed in a day-by-day syllabus, sets specific student goals, evaluates attainment of the goals by a pre-post test, utilizes a student-oriented study guide keyed to major textbooks as core material with slide-tape and videotape supplements, and emphasizes daily supervised patient examinations. Constant modification of the clerkship on the basis of student assessment has sustained it as a popular workable clinical experience.
