A field trip program for junior medical students on a pediatric clinical clerkship acquainted students with the care of normal and handicapped children in community settings of school, day care center, residential treatment, or diagnostic facilities.A program evaluation by pre and post-trip survey demonstrated a positive change in students' knowledge and attitude in general, which was unaffected by such factors as sex, previous experience in a medical setting, and previous experience with handicapped children.As an integral part of the pediatric clerkship, the field trip appears to have been a positive experience for students, as it met their educational and emotional needs. Subjective evaluation indicated that many students formed insightful and compassionate judgments about handicapped children.Although the increase in knowledge and sensitivity of the students, as reflected in the pre-and post-test, was not statistically significant, the benefit to the students, to the personnel of the agencies, and ultimately to the children and families with whom they dealt during their professional careers was important.
一项针对低年级医学生儿科临床实习的实地考察项目，让学生们在学校、日托中心、住院治疗机构或诊断机构等社区环境中了解对正常儿童和残疾儿童的护理。通过行程前和行程后的调查进行的项目评估表明，学生们的知识和态度总体上有积极变化，这种变化不受性别、之前在医疗环境中的经历以及之前与残疾儿童接触的经历等因素的影响。作为儿科实习的一个组成部分，实地考察对学生来说似乎是一次积极的经历，因为它满足了他们的教育和情感需求。主观评价表明，许多学生对残疾儿童形成了有洞察力和同情心的判断。尽管从测试前和测试后的情况来看，学生知识和敏感度的提高在统计学上并不显著，但对学生、相关机构工作人员，以及最终对他们在职业生涯中接触的儿童和家庭所带来的益处是很重要的。
