  • Understanding these components is crucial for effective family medicine practice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe methods for teaching the TOPIC model to medical students during their clerkship.
  • To report four years of outcome data on student learning and performance.

Main Methods:

  • Instruction involved seminars, pocket cards, a clerkship passport with examples, and self-study.
  • Evaluation included student perceptions of seminars and performance on the Clinical Performance Examination (CPX).

Main Results:
