The Women's Health Curriculum by a problem-based learning method for method for medical students at the University of California, San Francisco

Article Abstract:

A new Women's Health Curriculum at the University of California at San Francisco appears to have been a success. In response to concerns about the medical school's teaching of women's health, faculty developed an integrated curriculum based on problem solving of case studies. Cases were taught by obstetrician-gynecologists, family practitioners, and internists. Medical students rated the course an average of 8 on a scale of 1 to 10. The students preferred that the cases be taught by obstetrician-gynecologists, but the school intends to maintain the mixture in order to provide role models for these other specialties.

An obstetric and gynecologic clerkship's influence on a medical community: the Washington, Alaska, Montana, and Idaho Anchorage obstetric and gynecologic clerkship

Article Abstract:

A medical student clerkship appears to have succeeded in its goals. The clerkship for third-year medical students at the University of Washington placed students in Alaska, among other states, in the hopes of stimulating interest in practicing in underserved communities. Between 1978 and 1991, 21% of new Alaskan physicians graduated from the University of Washington School of Medicine. Of those, one-third had been Alaskan obstetrics and gynecology clerks. In addition, clerkship teaching faculty responding to a questionnaire reported that they valued the opportunity to teach and mentor medical students.
