| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Our previous study has shown that a three-hour cardiac auscultation class is insufficient for our 4th-year medical students to acquire proficiency needed for clinical clerkship. We investigated whether cardiac auscultation training for first-year students is feasible and effective. A total of 34 first-year students participated in three 1.5-hour cardiac auscultation classes. In the first test, the students listened to sounds after they were informed which of the three categories (2nd, 3rd/4th, heart murmurs) each sound belonged to. In the second test they were not notified of any category information. The accuracy rate of 2nd/3rd/4th sounds significantly decreased in the second test as compared with the first test although the extent of the decrease was less than in the 4th-year students. That of heart murmurs in the 2nd test tended to decrease in the first-year students but not in the 4th-year students. Our cardiac auscultation training should be amended considering these results.
