Abstract: Students (n=107) at the University of Michigan Medical School self-assessed diagnostic skills in 14 clinical areas before and after the clerkship and reported the relative amounts of time spent learning during the clerkship. Though self-assessed strengths and weaknesses typically did not correlate with study time allocation, time allocation was positively related to changes in self-assessed skill. (Author/DB)
