A Study of Student Attitudes Toward a Psychiatric Clerkship

Lau, Annie Y. H.; Offord, David R.

Journal of Medical Education, 51, 11, 919-28, Nov 76

Sixty-seven third-year medical students at the University of Ottawa were interviewed at the beginning and end of a month-long clerkship in psychiatry in order to determine the potential for negative postclerkship attitudes and the extent to which they can be modified. The importance of identifying vulnerable students is emphasized. (Author/LBH)
