Medical students received over 6 hours of daily teaching during third-year clerkships, primarily from faculty and residents. This study provides baseline data on educational activities and educators in community teaching hospitals.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Graduate Medical Education
  • Clinical Clerkships

Background:

  • Third-year medical clerkships are crucial for clinical skill development.
  • Understanding educational activities and educator roles is vital for optimizing training.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To quantify the educational activities of medical students during third-year clerkships.
  • To identify the types of educators involved in medical student training at community-based teaching hospitals.

Main Methods:

  • A 1992 study involving 201 third-year medical students across nine community hospitals.
  • Students logged educational activities in 15-minute intervals over 24 hours.
  • Statistical analysis (chi-square, ANOVA) compared educational activities across clerkships.

Main Results:

  • Students received 6.5 hours/day of instructor-led teaching and 4.9 hours of related learning.
  • Full-time faculty and residents provided nearly 75% of the teaching.
  • Medicine clerkships featured more informal teaching; surgery and ob-gyn emphasized supervised practice.

Conclusions:

  • This study offers baseline data on 1992 medical student educational activities and educators.
  • Findings may be impacted by evolving faculty demands and resident teaching roles.
  • Further research is needed to assess the influence of healthcare changes on medical education.
