A Clerkship based on Legitimate Peripheral Participation:A case study of McGill University / 医学教育

ABSTRACT

  A case study of a clerkship at McGill University school of medicine was conducted based on the data such as an observation, interview, and documents. A clerkship was constructed by three components. The basis of the structure was competency–based education. Medical students starts learning from active observation and later by supervised practice. The curriculum was supported by the educational theory such as legitimate peripheral participation, zone of proximal development and TARGET model, which sheds the light on some key elements to transfer into Japanese clerkship.
