Abstract:
Background: Some early clinical exposure programs in the community have been implemented in our medical school from years 1 to 3: community service for the handicapped in year 1, care for severely handicapped children in year 2, and health care at home with district nurses in year 3. The directors of these programs informed us, in feedback reports, of the inappropriate behavior of medical students. We then provided feedback directly to the students. We investigated the changes in student behavior after feedback during the 3 years they participated in these programs.
Methods: We analyzed the feedback reports from these 3 early clinical exposure programs from 2009 to 2011. Inappropriate behavior of medical students and changes in behavior were recorded.
Results: Inappropriate behaviors reported were: 1） lack of essential learning behavior, 2） lack of positive attitude and acceptance of learning in the programs, and 3） lack of communication skills. The numbers of students who received feedback about inappropriate behaviors were 26 in year 1, 11 in year 2, and 2 in year 3. Feedback to students from early clinical exposure programs may lead to changes in their behavior.
