Medical Student Acquisition of Clinical Working Knowledge

Abstract

Medical students acquired diagnostic pattern recognition ability and all years of medical training contributed. The rate of clinical data interpretation performance improvement was slower, and the absolute performance level was lower. What was surprising was the lower rate of improvement in diagnostic pattern recognition and clinical data interpretation performance for students during their 1st year of clinical training. Students' understanding of findings and their relationships to disease processes may be affected by their limited patient experience.
