Designing an Optimally Educational Anesthesia Clerkship for Medical Students – Survey Results of a New Curriculum

摘要

BackgroundThe field of anesthesia continues to be poorly understood and underestimated as a career choice for graduating medical students. The anesthesia clerkship is an important educational experience in which students learn a wealth of medical knowledge. Our aim was to develop an anesthesia clerkship which exposed the students to many aspects of anesthesiology in a well structured supervised environment. Based on this, we hoped that a positive learning experience would attract medical students to choose anesthesiology as a career.
