Impact of medical student preceptorship on ED patient throughput time.

A prospective, consecutive study was performed to determine if medical student supervision in the emergency department (ED) changes patient throughput time (ie, the time from triage to discharge). The mean patient throughput time on days when medical students were present in the ED (group 1) was compared to the mean patient throughput time on days when medical students were absent from the ED (group 2). Throughput time was measured in minutes. The mean throughput times of the two groups were compared by the two tailed t test (P < .05). The study had a power of 90% (beta = .10) to detect a throughput time difference of 20 minutes. The two groups were also compared for mean daily acuity (as gauged by mean daily number of patient admissions) and mean daily patient census. The differences in mean daily throughput times (group 1, 145.2 min v group II, 150.6 min; P = .40), mean daily census (group 1, 28.1 patients v group 2, 28.1 patients; P = .75), and mean daily admissions (group 1, 10.4 patients v group 2, 10.7 patients; P = .74) were all insignificant. Precepting medical students in this ED did not significantly change patient throughput times.

How much neurology should a medical student learn? a position statement of the AAN Undergraduate Education Subcommittee.

Neurologic disease, already common in the United States, will become even more common in the future. But presently, neurology education at the undergraduate level and in primary care residencies is declining and does not adequately train physicians to manage neurologic illness. The authors maintain that this serious problem can be partially addressed by improving the neurology education of all primary care physicians and by allowing students access to neurology specialists. The education of medical students in the basic and clinical neurosciences must be integrated into a seamless curriculum over the four years of medical education. This education experience must be taught through a team approach and must be led by both a clinician and a basic scientist. All medical students must acquire the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to perform an initial evaluation of the patient with a neurologic complaint. Finally, students must understand the role and recognize the importance of the neurologist and know when consultation is needed. This continuum of neurology education must be financially supported by the institution, and course leaders who show excellence in education must be rewarded with compensation and promotion.
