Popis: | A tutorial teaching program for medical students, previously found highly effective at Ohio State University (OSU), was adapted for use at the University of South Carolina (USC). Three classes of USC students obtained mean scores well above average on the psychiatry National Board Examination; at OSU a similar trend has persisted for seven consecutive years. Students also reported positive attitudes toward psychiatrists and psychiatry and entered psychiatry residency training at a rate higher than the national average. Tutorial teaching is effective for increasing cognitive knowledge, for promoting positive attitudes, and perhaps for increasing interest in psychiatry as a career choice. |
