Self‐assessment of specific interpersonal skills of medical undergraduates using immediate feedback through closed‐circuit television

For a 2‐week period, fifth‐year medical students of the University of Melbourne are attached to a general practice to obtain experience in primary medical care. During this time they also attend a number of seminars in the Department of Community Medicine. In one session of 45 minutes duration, pairs of students are videotaped, each role‐playing a diagnostic and a management interview. To determine the value of this session in improving clinical history‐taking and specific interpersonal skills by self‐assessment and discussion, a questionnaire was administered consecutively to three groups, each of twenty‐six students. It was found that being videotaped in a role‐playing situation was an acceptable procedure to most students. An analysis of the results shows that the method outlined is a practical form of immediate self‐assessment, and that the technique could be used to reinforce clinical history‐taking, and specific interpersonal skills of students.
