Satisfaction survey of early clinical exposure in medical students: a cross-sectional study
The ECE program significantly improved students' confidence and orientation to clinical environments. The observed decline in long-term satisfaction suggests a gap between the structured ECE experience and the complexities of real clinical practice. However, integration of ECE with the conventional medical education curriculum is essential to sustain students' motivation and confidence from the early years of college.
