Abstract
Concern among our medical students and faculty about a lack of teaching in the art of case presentation led us to modify the curriculum of our junior clerkship in Internal Medicine to introduce formal teaching of this skill. We used a modified Delphi expert‐opinion technique to develop a standardized case report format that was distributed to students and tutors at the beginning of the 10‐week course. Each student was required to present two cases to his or her tutor and clinical group. The presentations were evaluated, discussed, and marked by the entire group. Evaluation of the success of the innovation 1 year later revealed enthusiastic acceptance by tutors and students. Students’ marks for the case presentations were similar to those obtained on written case reports—indicating concurrent validity of the evaluations done by the entire tutorial group.
