In consequence, the medical students' interest in taking the elective anesthesia clerkship was decreased. Through the program redesign, we have improved our anesthesiology clerkship. In order to attract the best and brightest medical students to choose anesthesiology as a career, continuing efforts to improve both quantity and quality of medical students' education in anesthesiology are crucial.
