Are we optimizing medical students’ preparation for clerkship? A content analysis of narrative comments on clinical skills during preclinical training
In this study, narrative comments on clinical skills before clerkship seemed minimally helpful, as they were overwhelmingly positive and seldom offered suggestions. This could suggest missed opportunities for early interventions. Pre-clerkship narrative comments could potentially be optimized by increasing emphasis on clinical reasoning, addressing challenges early and providing actionable steps for improvement.
