Abstract:
Physician-mentored patient rounds (PMPR) were used to assess diagnostic accuracy and treatment plans of preclinical medical students. During 4 PMPR sessions, students gathered patient history, observed a physical exam, analyzed diagnostic tests, and developed treatment plans for a patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Of 470 students, 99.4% correctly diagnosed the patient. Nearly 78% prescribed long-acting beta-agonists or long-acting muscarinic antagonists. Most included appropriate pharmacologic treatments. Only 47% included smoking cessation in their treatment.
