Abstract:
Objective:To explore the effect of early clinical clerkship training in the early exposure to clinical practice of eight-year program medical students.Methods:Experimental control method was used in this study. A total of 120 eight-year program medical students in the third year of Batch 2014 to 2016 from the Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology were selected as the research objects. The students of each grade were randomly selected by computer and divided into experimental group and control group, with 20 students in each group. Before early clinical exposure, the experimental group received 16 class hours of early clinical clerkship training, while the control group did not receive early clinical clerkship training. After the early clinical exposure, the clinical diagnosis and treatment ability of the two groups of students was compared. SPSS 24.0 software was used for t test. Results:The scores of medical history inquiry of experimental group and control group were [(17.45±1.96) points and (15.95±1.93) points; (18.30±1.03) points and (16.75±1.86) points; (17.95±1.36) points and (16.40±1.60) points, respectively]. The physical examination scores were [(17.75±1.65) points and (16.05±1.64) points; (17.85±1.18) points and (16.80±1.47) points; (18.25±1.16) points and (16.85±1.63) points, respectively]. The clinical judgment scores were [(18.15±1.42) points and (16.35±2.41) points; (18.20±1.24) points and (16.65±1.53) points; (18.35±1.35) points and (16.25±1.83) points, respectively]. Diagnosis and treatment scheme scores were [(17.15±1.57) points and (14.55±2.56) points; (17.30±1.42) points and (15.90±1.48) points; (17.80±1.06) points and (16.35±1.87) points, respectively]. The scores of communication skills were [(17.95±1.15) points and (17.00±1.19) points; (18.55±0.83) points and (17.45±1.50) points; (18.45±1.00) points and (17.45±1.23) points, respectively], with statistically significant differences (all P<0.05). Conclusion:The application of early clinical clerkship training in the early exposure to clinical practice of eight-year program medical students can improve the quality of students' clerkship.
