[Assessment of curriculum by medical students: comparison of participants and non-participants in voluntary anamnesis groups. An empirical study].
A representative sample of medical students (n = 121) was given a questionnaire to assess parts of their medical education (lectures, seminars, clerkships) and to design a subjectively ideal timetable, which was compared with the real faculty program. Overall traditional lectures received a low rating (n = 0.17) and individual studies with the textbooks a high rating (n = 0.53). The information given in programs in psychiatry and psychosomatics in significantly less motivating than information to be learned in other medical subjects. This is surprising because the ground work for training in the doctor-patient relationship should be in these fields. Students with former group experience (participation in peer groups on history taking (wish to have more practically oriented education compared with the students without group experience. It is not clear whether the important factor is participation in group experience before starting medical school. (64% of the participants had group experience in the first group as opposed to only 45% of the other group). This information should be taken into consideration when reforming medical school programs.
