title: Impact of family practice residents on obstetrics and gynecology basic clerkship: medical students' perceptions.
abstract: Increasing numbers of family practice residents and medical students require training in obstetrics and gynecology. The effect of these residents on medical student learning in a basic obstetrics and gynecology clerkship at the University of Washington was examined. Results of a questionnaire completed by 314 medical students revealed that family practice residents had a positive although highly variable impact on student learning. Individual differences in residents and students seem to account for much of the variability. Suggestions are made for enhancing the learning experience in obstetrics and gynecology for both medical students and family practice residents.
