RESUMO
We used questionnaires to assess training in the use of Kampo medicine which took place mostly at our outpatient clinic. Most of the 18 trainees (6 medical doctors and 12 medical students) felt that the quantity and the quality of the lectures and the amount of time spent in the outpatient clinic were satisfactory. In addition, all trainees thought that attending the outpatient clinic was the most instructive activity and made the deepest impression, but 14 of the 18 trainees (78%) thought that it was a difficult learning strategy. Fifteen trainees (83%) rated this training curriculum as good or very good. Sixteen trainees (88%) were conscious of a change in their study or work attitudes 3 to 6 months after training; this result suggests that this curriculum has an educational effect.
