Abstract
© 2018 The American Physiological Society. An early clinical exposure project conducted by clinical students aimed to promote direct clinical experience to preclinical students. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of the project on academic achievement and study attitudes and habits between participating and nonparticipating students before (test 1) and after the project (test 2) in the second preclinical year and at the end of the first semester of the first clinical year (test 3), with a subgroup analysis of the first (lowest) to third (highest) tertile of the score. Questionnaires were sent to the first clinical year students at test 3 and asked the information retrospectively at test 1 and test 2 in second year preclinical and currently at test 3, with 83.86% (265/316) being returned. Mean percentile of scores was higher at test 2 compared with test 1 in the first tertile group of participating students. Motivation to study medicine (motivation), realization of application of preclinical knowledge to clinical study (application), understanding of clinical environment (environment), and lesson review after class (review) were higher for participating than nonparticipating students at test 2 and/or test 3. Searching additional study information was higher at test 2 compared with test 1 only for participating students. This project could effectively promote application, motivation, environment, and review for participating vs. nonparticipating students at test 2 and/or test 3. Effortless, intimate, and effective communication between clinical and preclinical students and a direct experience in early clinical exposure might be key success factors.
