A Person-to-Person Training Method to Master the Physical Examination of the Heart for 1st-Year Medical Trainees / 医学教育

ABSTRACT

In the past 2 years, five 1st-year medical trainees with excellent knowledge and attitude trained with an instructor supervision in the physical examination of the heart with 4 to 5 patients a week. Despite their undergraduate medical education, these medical trainees could not detect abnormal physical findings of the heart. As much as 5 months of training was required before they could satisfactorily detect such abnormalities.
