Evaluation of the Effects of Bedside Teaching through Reports from Students / 医学教育

Psychiatric bedside teaching has been employed for undergraduate students at our department since 1980. The reports of individual students on bedside teaching are compiled as a booklet entitled Medicine Based on Human Communication that is given to the students at graduation every year. The goals of bedside teaching have been accepted by students in general, and bedside teaching also appears to be useful for attitude education. Students find values in bedside teaching which differ from those of other medical subjects.
