    Summary

    A patient-oriented behavioral science course significantly improved medical students' National Board exam scores compared to a theoretical course. This suggests consultation-liaison psychiatrists

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Education
    • Psychiatry
    • Behavioral Science

    Background:

    • Effective teaching of medical behavioral science presents a challenge for psychiatric training.
    • Two distinct behavioral science courses were developed and taught at Yale University School of Medicine.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare student evaluations and National Board examination performance between a theoretically oriented and a patient-oriented behavioral science course.
    • To determine the optimal approach for teaching behavioral science to medical students.

    Main Methods:

    • A comparative analysis of student evaluations for both courses.
    • Comparison of mean scores on the behavioral science subtest of the National Board of Medical Examiners Part I examination for students who took each course.
    • Analysis of data from the fifth year each course was taught and the preceding four years.

    Main Results:

    • Students reported significantly greater acceptance of the patient-oriented course compared to the theoretically oriented course.
    • Classes that took the patient-oriented course achieved significantly higher mean scores on the behavioral science subtest.
    • The patient-oriented course class scored 52 points higher on average than the theoretical course class in their fifth year.

    Conclusions:

    • A patient-oriented approach to teaching behavioral science is more effective for medical students.
    • The practical skills utilized by consultation-liaison psychiatrists are highly relevant and effective for teaching behavioral science.
    • Integrating clinical relevance enhances student engagement and academic outcomes in medical behavioral science education.
