Abstract:
To establish a framework for clinical education as a continuum from undergraduate clinical clerkships to postgraduate residency programs is an enormous challenge for Japanese medical education. The purpose of this article is to compare learning objectives achieved by clinical clerkship students to those achieved by postgraduate residents.1) Eighty-seven clerkship students and 67 residents at our hospital were assessed with the Web-based Evaluation System of Postgraduate Clinical Training with 253 learning objectives established by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare.2) Clerkship students achieved most attitudinal objectives and performed well on the medical interview, basic physical examinations, and physician's order sheet.3) Clerkship students could observe major symptoms and diseases.4) These findings indicate the need to establish a common template for learning objectives used in both clerkships and residency programs.
