Teaching intimate physical examinations in medical schools generates practical, didactical and ethical problems. At the University of Antwerp, a unique program with intimate examination assistants (IEA) was implemented for fifth year's undergraduate students. They learn gynaecological and urological skills in healthy volunteers. Technical, communicative and attitude aspects are taken into account.
Description of the implementation of the project. Assessment of the project by questionnaires, written reflections and round table conferences.
The results provide detailed information about the student's perceptions of each component of the program as well as the perceptions of the IEA's and the teachers.
The multilevel evaluation of the program supports the surplus value of working with IEA's in medical education. The eye-catcher in this program is the integration of clinical skills with communicative skills and attention for students' attitude.
Working with IEA's for intimate examinations represents a benefit in medical education by lowering the student's threshold to perform the intimate physical examination on both men and women during their fulltime clerkships.
医学院校中教授亲密体格检查会产生实践、教学和伦理问题。在安特卫普大学，为五年级本科生实施了一项配备亲密检查助手（IEA）的独特项目。他们在健康志愿者身上学习妇科和泌尿科技能。该项目兼顾技术、沟通和态度等方面。
描述该项目的实施情况。通过问卷调查、书面反思和圆桌会议对项目进行评估。
结果提供了关于学生对该项目各个组成部分的看法以及IEA和教师看法的详细信息。
该项目的多层次评估支持了在医学教育中与IEA合作的附加价值。该项目的亮点在于将临床技能与沟通技能相结合，并关注学生的态度。
在医学教育中，通过降低学生在全职实习期间对男女进行亲密体格检查的门槛，与IEA合作进行亲密检查具有益处。
