In general, the attitude of patients towards student-doctors is positive. There is a general reluctance to see a student-doctor for emotional or intimate problems. Future research should focus on the effect of the preceptor's presence in the latter case. Another interesting topic would be the effect on consent and appreciation of the student-doctor when there are differences in cultural background between patient and student.

“…2 Males may be less self-conscious than females, not caring much whether students are present or not. A recent study 7 reported that over 90% of patients were satisfied with con- sultations conducted by medical students and that most would consult with a student again. However, emotional problems and intimate examinations were matters for concern.…”

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Contact with patients has important implications for medical students' education. Previous studies have shown that patients in teaching hospitals have positive views about medical education. The aim here was to assess the acceptability of medical education among patients and their companions in a non-teaching private hospital that is planning to implement a medical teaching program in the near future. DESIGN AND SETTING:Cross-sectional study conducted in a 200-bed tertiary-care private hospital in Brasília. METHODS:Between March and April 2005, patients and their companions in three different sections of the hospital (intensive care unit, ward and emergency waiting room) were surveyed using a questionnaire. RESULTS:The questionnaire was completed by 209 volunteers. The majority of the volunteers (178; 85%) said that they would allow a student to be present during consultations. Of these, 102 (57%) said that they would like to have a student present. Acceptance of the presence of students was higher among males (males 93%; females 81%; P = 0.026). Intensive care unit respondents said that they would like medical students to be present more frequently than the other two groups said this (ward 48%; emergency room 49%; intensive care unit 74%; P = 0.011).CONCLUSIONS: Not only were medical students well accepted but also their presence during consultations was desired by many patients and their companions. These findings may be of great value for plans to implement medical teaching programs in private hospitals.RESUMO CONTEXTO E OBJETIVO: O contato com pacientes tem implicações importantes na educação de estudantes de medicina. Estudos prévios revelam que pacientes em hospitais escola têm opiniões positivas sobre ensino médico. O objetivo foi avaliar a aceitação de ensino médico em um hospital privado não-universitário que planeja implementar um programa de ensino médico em futuro próximo. TIPO DE ESTUDO E LOCAL:Estudo transversal conduzido em hospital privado de 200 leitos, em Brasília. MÉTODOS:Em Brasília entre março e abril de 2005, foram aplicados questionários a pacientes e acompanhantes em três diferentes seções do hospital: unidade de terapia intensiva, enfermaria e sala de espera do pronto-socorro. RESULTADOS:O questionário foi respondido por 209 voluntários. A maioria, 178 (85%), permitiria a presença do estudante de medicina durante a consulta e dentre estes, 102 (57%) gostariam da presença do estudante. A aceitação à presença de estudantes foi maior em voluntários do sexo masculino (homens 93%; mulheres 81%; P = 0,026). Os voluntários da unidade de terapia intensiva foram os que mais gostariam da presença do estudante quando comparados aos outros dois grupos (enfermaria 48%; pronto-socorro 49%; unidade de terapia intensiva 74%; P = 0,011). CONCLUSÕES: Estudantes de medicina são não apenas bem aceitos, mas também desejados por muitos pacientes e acompanhantes durante consultas médicas. Esses achados podem ter grande valor para o plano de implementação de um programa de ensino ...

“…Prior knowledge of medical student interactions and the method of obtaining consent influence patients' willingness to accept a student as part of their care. [5][6][7] Studies of student involvement in specialties, in general practice and in ambulatory clinics all showed a positive patient response to student involvement. 4,5,8,9 This acceptance decreases with increasing intimacy of patient consultation.…”

Patients consulting with students in general practice: Survey of patients’ satisfaction and their role in teaching

Abstract: Patients in general practice have a positive view towards consulting with senior students. Even unprepared patients see themselves as contributors to teaching, and their capacity in this respect is probably under-utilized.
