We performed a questionnaire survey of 199 graduates regarding surgical clerkships to help select future clinical trainingmethods for fifth-year medical students. Many of the graduates understood the significance of clerkships, and 70%were able to benefit from their participation in clinical training. They approved of clerkships, but 22% had critical opinions.Clinical instructors were asked to teach with greater enthusiasm, to be easier to talk with, and to have a deeperknowledge of diseases. Graduates who attended very few lectures in the fourth year were less likely to expect clinical instructorsto teach well. Most graduates believed that clinical instructors should have at least 5 years' clinical experience.These results suggest that all faculties should continue to place a greater emphasis on education and that faculty developmentshould be expanded.

We have tried to design a method to measure health degrees as one of ideas to grasp the activity of general population.
We should like to suggest to measure relative local endurance and to observe its index or their mutual index ratio measurement of their endurance in each item.
Exercise method was already reported in the report (1) .
Loading time by standing arm test (SAT) is 1 minute, knee test (KT) is 30 seconds, sit up test (ST) is 30 seconds for general population.
Extimate formulas on index are given as follows,
SAT=120-2Y/ (P₁+P₂) ×4×1.36×100=2206-37Y/P₁+P₂
KT=120-2X/ (P₁+P₂) ×4×1.22×100=2459-41X/P₁+P₂
_??_ST₃₀=120-3Z/ (P₁+P₂) ×4×1.20×100=2500-63Z/P₁+P₂
_??_ST₃₀=120-3Z/ (P₁+P₂) ×4×1.38×100=2174-63Z/P₁+P₂
X, Y and Z show frequency of impossible in each exercise.
The above index itself can be compared with index in another person, but for the individual SAT/KT and ST/KT show that balance of moving and in case need SAT+ KT and SAT+KT+ST can be compared as the whole body endurance.
After this, we are expected to investigate whether the health degree in each individual can be observated or not, by these methods.

Background: A workshop for training clinical clerkship staff has been held since 2009. We examined how the participants felt about the workshop.
Method: The questionnaire was sent to the participants of the workshop.
Result: Of the participants, 82％ thought that the workshop was helpful and that the benefits had continued for more than 2 years. Their motivation for undergraduate medical education was improved. They started to consider how medical students become members of a medical team and to think about the goals of medical practice. To promote further increases in the numbers of clinical clerkships, the participants cited the necessity of increasing the number of faculty advisors, encouraging medical students’ positive attitudes, changing attitudes about patients, extending the training period, and holding such workshops.
Conclusion: The workshop was beneficial for the staff, and the beneficial effects continued long after the workshop was held.
