Randomized Controlled Trial
Clinical skills and self-efficacy after a curriculum on care for the underserved.
Despite calls for medical school curricula that address care for the underserved, published evaluations of such curricula are few and often do not assess clinical skills. This study assesses the changes in self-efficacy and clinical skills resulting from faculty-led or web-based curricula on care for the underserved. ⋯ Web-based and faculty-led curricula improve medical student self-efficacy and clinical skills. Results from specific self-efficacy and skill items facilitate targeted curricular improvement.
