Undergraduate Medical Education in Community Hospitals / 医学教育

Most doctors in community hospitals are clinicians and differ in many ways from physician-scientists in university hospitals. However, conversion from clinician to clinician-educator requires various innovations and endeavors such as the establishment of clinical clerkship, dissemination of EBM, progressive disputation, sufficient accountability, cooperation with co-medical. Undergraduate medical education in community hospitals should be focused on primary care, general internal medicine and emergency medicine. Achievement in our hospital is discussed.
