Abstract
PURPOSE: Most medical schools have held clinical skills training programs recently. Despite these educational endeavors, few studies have attempted to address the effect of clinical skills assessments on clinical performance. This study investigated whether repeated experiences with the examination improved medical students' history-taking, physical exams, and patient-physician interactions (PPIs).Entities:
