대한민국의 마취통증의학 임상실습 현황 = The current status of anesthesiology clerkship in Korea

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Background: There had been few regulations or agreements between medical schools how to teach undergraduate medical students during anesthesiology clerkship. We conducted this survey to figure out the current status of the clerkships of medical schools in Korea, and suggest the direction of development.
Methods: The questionnaires about anesthesiology clerkship were sent to chairpersons or clerkship directors of 42 medical schools in Korea by electric mail. The answers were collected by internet system.
Results: 33 schools answered the questionnaires. The clerkships were elective in 19 schools, but 26 schools answered that the anesthesiology clerkship should be included in core clerkships. Only a few schools oriented the students about ethical issues and occupational health during clerkship. Most schools evaluated the students by evaluation sheet or written examination. Oral or skill tests were used at only 8 and 5 schools, respectively.
Conclusions: The answers of survey showed that there were many aspects to be improved in anesthesiology clerkship although the responses of students toward the clerkship were positive.
