To evaluate clinical courses at teaching hospitals outside of Osaka City University Hospital, we used a questionnaire to ask instructors and sixth-year students about practical problems immediately after the end of the semester. This course was conducted for 7 weeks during the first semester at 24 hospitals and for 5 weeks during the second semester at 23 hospitals. In each semester about 40% of clinical practice at teaching hospitals was done in the style of clinical clerkships. About 90% of students were mostly or completely satisfied with their instructors and hospitals. Furthermore, about 70% of instructors felt more or less fulfilled by working with students and about 60% of them felt working with students was rewarding. More than 95% of instructors would be willing to teach medical students again. In conclusion, most instructors and students felt that clinical courses at teaching hospitals outside of Osaka City University Hospital were conducted without problems.
