Designing a Clinical Clerkship Program with the 4C/ID Model / 医学教育

ABSTRACT

Clinical clerkships in medical school requires an educational approach that integrates medical students into the medical team and progressively assigns medical tasks to them based on their competencies. However, it is challenging for supervisors to delegate tasks to medical students gradually while considering medical safety. This paper outlines the design of an emergency department clinical clerkship program based on the Four Component Instructional Design (4C/ID) model. This model enables students to learn complex task performance skills in stages while developing a schema, considering the cognitive load involved in learning complex tasks. The 4C/ID model is anticipated to be an effective instructional design for constructing clinical clerkship programs.
