Education in Pathology with a Clinicopathological Conference (CPC) Style at the Yokohama City University School of Medicine: Comparison between CPC and Journal Club / 医学教育

ABSTRACT

We have used two methods for education of pathology at the Yokohama City University School of Medicine 1) clinicopathological conferences on autopsy cases and 2) journal club using “Case Records of the Massachusetts General Hospital” published in the New England Journal of Medicine. Both methods are extremely effective for stimulating students' enthusiasm for learning, improving presentation skills, and consolidating the minds of students as future medical staff members. Furthermore, journal club enhances the affinity for reading medical English.
