Background And Purpose: We evaluated the physical-examination section of a multimedia program developed to teach infant history and physical-examination skills.
Methods: A total of 71 students participated: one group viewed only the physical-examination section (PX), one the history section (HX), one none of the program (CX). We assessed physical-examination skills by direct observation of medical students performing an abdominal exam and scored using a checklist at baseline, immediately after intervention, and at the end of the pediatric clerkship.
Purpose: To evaluate the effect of a videotaping program on third-year medical students' interviewing and self-assessment skills.
Methods: A self-assessment manual, listing and explaining 21 core elements of the medical interview, was developed. After reading the manual, students videotaped an interview and self-assessed their performances.
