Academic MedicineTeaching and learning in ambulatory care settings
502 Citations1995David M. Irby
A thematic review was conducted of the 1980–1994 research literature on teaching and learning in ambulatory care settings for both undergraduate and graduate medical education, indicating that some medical students and residents have deficient skills in interviewing, physical examination, and management of psychosocial issues.
Obstetrical & Gynecological SurveyContributions of the History, Physical Examination, and Laboratory Investigation in Making Medical Diagnoses
389 Citations1992Michael C. Peterson, John Holbrook +3 more
Data support the concept that most diagnoses are made from the medical history, and the results of physical examination and the laboratory investigation led to fewer diagnoses, but they were instrumental in excluding certain diagnostic possibilities and in increasing the physicians' confidence in their diagnoses.

203 Citations1999D G Kassebaum, Robert H. Eaglen
Too many medical schools still fail to employ evaluation methods that specifically assess students' achievement of the skills and behaviors they need to learn to practice medicine, explaining why accreditors are paying closer attention to how well schools provide measured assurances that students learn what the faculties set out to teach.
