Assessment of insight change in medical student doing psychiatry.
The development of 'insight' in medical students is considered a fundamental component of psychiatric undergraduate education. The use of an insight test at the beginning and end of a 6 week teaching programme in clinical psychiatry showed a significant increase in insight as measured by this test. There was also a significant correlation between the final insight score and the results of a traditional oral examination.
