title: [Evaluation by undergraduate medical students of clinical clerkships in the department of anesthesiology--comparison with the evaluation in previous fiscal year].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Clinical Clerkships in the Department of Anesthesiology were evaluated by undergraduate medical students and compared with other clinical departments and those of previous fiscal year 2003.
  
  
  METHODS
  Questionnaire surveys by 5 step Likert measure were conducted to ask the students for the evaluation of each department or division, and formative evaluation was performed after the all clerkships. The questionnaire consisted of 12 questions on 1) orientation, 2) learning chances and provision of teaching materials, 3) feedback, learning promotion and teaching attitude, 4) coordination of human relationship between medical staff and students, and 5) overall evaluation of teacher's physician.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The average score of our department was 4.40 (mean, 5 th grade of all 26 departments/divisions), and the score of the question on provision of medical practice (4.71) was the best among the all departments/divisions. The evaluation grading was rather low for the question on chance for physical examinations (3.80).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Reevaluation of the educational program in our department based on the results of the survey is essential for improvement of the program, and further provision of chances, especially for physical examinations, is also needed for undergraduate students in the program by including palliative medical care program.
