Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES
A school-wide curriculum renewal led to a new clerkship curriculum that teaches core family practice competencies by focusing on the process of care in generalist practice. The organizing framework consists of five prototypic visits and their encounter tasks: 1) new problem visit, 2) checkup visit, 3) chronic illness visit, 4) psychosocial problem visit, and 5) behavioral change visit.
METHODS
The seminars occur at the beginning of the rotation and use active learning techniques. Evaluation includes student perceptions of the seminars and teachers and student performance on a clinical performance examination (CPX).
RESULTS
Students rated the usefulness of the seminars and the seminar leaders' teaching behaviors favorably. The CPX checklist scores showed that students could perform most of the behaviors expected for each prototypic visit. The students listed the appropriate encounter tasks nearly half of the time when describing what tasks they tried to accomplish during the CPX cases. The students listed concrete behaviors just over 50% of the time.
CONCLUSIONS
The students learned the material presented in the seminars and applied it during the CPX. Students can do most of the behaviors but do not seem to describe the tasks as abstractly as faculty. These results come from one class cohort in one medical school, so the generalizability is limited until further work, including other learners, confirms these findings.
