The Search for Clinical Role Models as a Way of Coping with Clerkship Stress.

Gerber, Lane A.

Journal of Medical Education, v54 n8 p659-61 Aug 1979

Finding a clinical attending physician role model is one mechanism that medical students can use to cope with the stress engendered by a clinical clerkship. A survey of medical students at the Medical College of Ohio explores this role modeling process. Relevant literature is related and implications of the attending physician role model are discussed.
