The Albert Einstein College of Medicine has replaced a mandatory third-year radiology clerkship with a new family medicine rotation. This was done, ostensibly, to influence student career choice. We surveyed students to quantify their perceptions about the former radiology course.
Questionnaires were sent to 498 present and former Albert Einstein College of Medicine students. Eight questions attempted to quantify the students' perceptions about the educational value of the radiology clerkship and assess its impact on subsequent career choice.
The mandatory clerkship taught the fundamentals of X-ray interpretation and the most efficacious ways of imaging disease processes. Students viewed the clerkship as useful and important for a well-rounded medical education. Most would have taken the course as an elective had it only been offered as such and would now encourage junior students to do likewise. The mandatory radiology clerkship did not influence the career choice of most survey respondents.
The former mandatory radiology clerkship had been an important part of student education at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, and its termination is unlikely to affect student career choice.
阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦医学院已将强制性的三年级放射学实习换成了新的家庭医学轮转。表面上这样做是为了影响学生的职业选择。我们对学生进行了调查，以量化他们对之前放射学课程的看法。
向498名现就读和曾经就读于阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦医学院的学生发放了问卷。八个问题试图量化学生对放射学实习教育价值的看法，并评估其对后续职业选择的影响。
强制性实习教授了X射线解读的基础知识以及对疾病过程进行成像的最有效方法。学生们认为该实习对于全面的医学教育很有用且很重要。如果当初该课程只是作为选修课提供的话，大多数学生都会选择修这门课，并且现在会鼓励低年级学生也这样做。强制性放射学实习并没有影响大多数接受调查的受访者的职业选择。
之前的强制性放射学实习曾是阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦医学院学生教育的重要组成部分，其终止不太可能影响学生的职业选择。
