Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Family medicine clerkship directors review students' patient encounter logs. Encounter data can be used to alter students' learning experiences. Our purpose was to determine if students record different types of patient encounters before and after reviewing log data with clerkship directors. METHODS: Clerkship directors met with each student at clerkship midpoint, reviewed encounter data, and encouraged the student to seek out less frequently seen diseases. RESULTS: A total of 56/105 students (53%) saw different types of patients after the review. CONCLUSIONS: More than half of the students recorded different types of patient encounters after an intervention encouraging them to do so.
