Patient Perceptions of Student Roles: Implications for Satisfaction and Provider Preference.

Glasser, Michael L.; Meyer, Mark G.

Journal of Medical Education, v54 n12 p944-46 Dec 1979

A study of the consequences of medical student involvement in health care examines patient perception of the student role. Approximately one-third of the community health center patients surveyed viewed the student doctors as subordinate to faculty physicians and these persons were less likely to evaluate their interaction with the students in a favorable light.
