An Analysis of Empathy in Medical Students Before and Following Clinical Experience.

Diseker, Robert A.; Michielutte, Robert

Journal of Medical Education, v56 n12 p1004-10 Dec 1981

Results indicated that empathy scores declined slightly over time and were unrelated to academic performance. (Author/MLW)
