Changes in the feelings of students during outpatient clinical training / 医学教育

ABSTRACT

1) We used using educational portfolios to investigate changes in the feelings of fifth-year medical students during 1-week outpatient clinical training.2) Negative feelings were most often expressed on the first day. Gradually, however, positive feelings were expressed more often, and the number of positive feelings expressed was significantly higher on the final day.3) Our investigation suggests that outpatient clinical training motivates medical students. They reviewed their practical training with their portfolios. In addition, the instructors could use the portfolios to understand the changes in students' feelings. We hope that educational portfolios will prove useful for setting new educational objectives.
