Why do British undergraduates favour physicians' teaching compared to surgeons?

摘要

We investigated the quality of undergraduate medical education by means of a structured questionnaire which explored attitudes and opinions towards teaching that students had received. The questionnaire was distributed by email to clinical medical students (third-year and above) from a leading medical school in the UK and provided undergraduates the opportunity to nominate doctors who made the most significant contribution to their medical education. The returned questionnaire responses were collated and the nominations were analysed with anonymity maintained at all times.
