초록

Objectives The purpose of this study was to (1) redesign the sub-internship program to maximize the benefits and minimize the difficulties of the program, (2) implement the redesigned program for fourth-year medical students at a medical school in Korea, and (3) evaluate the results of the program to demonstrate the value of the program and provide an improved sub-internship to the students.
Methods A comparative study was employed using program satisfaction surveys from the previous curriculum design in 2020 and the curriculum design modified in 2021. Focus group interviews (FGI) were also conducted with the students and professors to receive feedback and evaluate the results of the program to demonstrate its value. A total of 76 students in 2020 and 59 students in 2021 responded. We aimed to recruit four students and four professors through purposeful sampling for the interviews.
Results We found three key findings in this study. First, providing the right to select a department by the students helped them to acquire learning motivation from authentic clinical experiences. Second, there were unique differences between the sub-internship and the rotation-based clerkship. Third, various types of logistical support for the sub-internship program and to enhance the students’ external motivation were needed for the program to be successful.
Conclusions A couple of strategies are presented based on the results. First, the authenticity of the clinical practices is the most essential factor in the sub-internship. Second, the curriculum and evaluation criteria of a sub-internship program should be considered to develop or modify the program based on the characteristics of each department. Third, a hybrid clinical training with limited face-to-face meetings could be considered as an alter native to the sub-internship. Last, close cooperation between the college of medicine and the affiliated hospital is needed for the success of the sub-internship.
