Abstract

Limited health care resources and other social factors are making clinical decision making (CDM) a necessary subject of study for medical students. However, CDM material is technical and could be perceived by students as arcane. This study evaluated student attitudes toward a CDM module imbedded in a third-year medical student (MSIII) family medicine clerkship. A survey instrument was used for the evaluation and included a within-subject check for response consistency. The results show that MSIIIs feel that technical CDM material is within their grasp and that it is relevant to their day-to-day care of patients. Key words: clinical decision making; educational evaluation; clerkships. (Med Decis Making 1993;13:114-117)
