The Research on the Impact of Early Clinical Exposure on Enhancing Medical Students'Practical Skills and the Quality of Healthcare Services
This article explores the importance of incorporating early clinical exposure into medical education to enhance medical students'practical skills and improve the quality of healthcare services.It introduces the exploration and reflections of medical schools in practice.Currently,the traditional medical education system focuses primarily on in-class foundational courses,with clinical courses typically introduced only after students have mastered basic knowledge.This approach can lead to a disconnection between the knowledge from different disciplines,insufficient integration of basic and clinical training,and a lack of practical application and guidance.To address this issue,the article presents the practical efforts of medical schools,such as organizing hospital visits for freshmen,offering introductory clinical medicine courses,implementing clinical simulation training,and integrating courses as part of curriculum reform.It calls on medical schools to establish training programs that incorporate early clinical exposure,as this will help cultivate clinical thinking in medical students and enhance their practical skills and the overall quality of healthcare services.
