The Way They Do it…: Accident and Emergency Teaching in UK Medical Schools.
This is the second in an occasional series of surveys of topical aspects of medical educational practice in the UK and elsewhere. It reports the results of an inquiry into the place in medical school curricula of practical work in accident and emergency medicine-'casualty'-and describes teaching practices in A & E departments. The article demonstrates considerable differences in the arrangements made in the various medical schools, and also in the place of the subject within the final examination.
