Implication Statement The Psychiatry Information Card (PIC) offers a practical, structured concise resource to enhance medical students' confidence, knowledge, and self-reflection during psychiatry rotations. Its utility lies in providing targeted support for students navigating the transition from classroom learning to clinical practice, and addressing specific challenges encountered during this critical phase of medical education. By offering accessible and relevant information aligned with rotation objectives, the PIC increased knowledge pre and post rotation, and enhanced the learning experience. The PIC's acceptability is demonstrated by the high recommendation rate (90%) among participants, who endorsed its integration into the rotations. Additionally, the low cost and ease of distribution make the PIC a cost-effective resource, further supporting its feasibility for widespread implementation. Therefore, we recommend formal integration into the curriculum.
启示声明 精神病学信息卡(PIC)提供了一种实用、结构化的简洁资源,以增强医学生在精神病学轮转期间的信心、知识和自我反思能力。其效用在于为学生从课堂学习过渡到临床实践提供有针对性的支持,并应对医学教育这一关键阶段遇到的具体挑战。通过提供与轮转目标一致的易于获取且相关的信息,PIC提高了轮转前后的知识水平,并增强了学习体验。参与者中90%的高推荐率证明了PIC的可接受性,他们认可将其纳入轮转。此外,低成本和易于分发使PIC成为一种具有成本效益的资源,进一步支持了其广泛实施的可行性。因此,我们建议将其正式纳入课程。
