| Research Abstract |
We conducted a research on the current status of bed-side clinical education at medical schools in Japan to promote implementation of clinical clerkship which is generally regarded as the most efficacious among three types of clinical education (others are observational and simulational ones).
As of October 2000, only 38 % of medical schools adopted clinical clerkship and many schools lacked guidelines on the clarification of clinical clerkship as compared to the traditional observational type, goals of clinical clerkship, formulation of ward team, assessment of students, theoretical ground of denial of unlawfulness of doctoring by unlicensed students, and how to cope with possible medical accident by students. Furthermore, there were only 49% of medical schools which gave systematic examination before bed-side clinical education.
Based on these data, we made concrete proposals on the contents of curriculum for clinical clerkship including how to obtain informed ocnsent from patients, possible measures against medical accidents by students, insurance for students. We also made an important proposal to implement national examination for all medical students before entering bed-side clinical learning. This examination, comparable to USMLE Step 1, should include not only CBT (Computer-based Testing) but also OSCE to assure the skill of medical students before seeing patients.
