The Use of Patients as Student Evaluators.

Henkin, Yaakov; And Others

Medical Teacher, v12 n3-4 p279-89 1991

A comparison of patient (n=181) and tutor (n=31) evaluations of medical student (n=41) behavior in an internal medicine clerkship revealed difficulties with patient evaluation of students. The process is time consuming and introduces tension between students and patients, and patients are poor discriminators. (Author/MSE)
