Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose: We performed Clinical Performance Examination (CPX) on third year medical students during emergency medicine clinical rotations in order to substantially improve their clinical performance on Patients with emergent symptoms.
Methods: For 40 third year medical students, we performed CPX consisting of 5 scenarios of emergent symptoms (abdominal pain, high fever, chest pain, dyspnea, gastrointestinal bleeding). Their clinical performance was evaluated both before and after CPX based on parameters: medical knowledge and confidence, history taking, physical examination, diagnosis, treatment plan establishment, and communication with the patient and medical staff.
Results: Participants were mostly satisfied with CPX. Reasons cited include improvement on medical confidence, their history taking and physical examination skills, reaching a more adequate diagnosis, establishing a comprehensive treatment plan based on history taking and physical examination, and communication skill with the patient and medical staff.
Conclusion: We suggest that the use of CPX during emergency medicine clinical rotations is expected to contribute substantially to the clinical performance of the upcoming generation of physicians on patients with emergent symptoms.
