title: Developing on outpatient care syllabus for a third-year clerkship in family medicine.
abstract: Selecting and evaluating student reading resources are important steps in preparing for a clerkship, but a literature review yields little information about these processes. The following brief report outlines the method used to produce the outpatient care syllabus for the third-year clerkship at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School. The discussion includes: 1) the purposes of an outpatient care reading resource; 2) selection of materials; 3) correlation of materials with a student experience patient log form; and 4) plans for evaluation and periodic revision of the syllabus.
