    The curriculum of the Duke University School of Medicine is unique and innovative because it starts clinical clerkships in the 2nd year and has introduced research fellowships in the 3rd year. New external pressures require innovations. The innovations of the Duke curriculum are as follows: greater integration of clinical and basic-science education, continuous early clinical exposure in clinics and hospitals, a stronger structure for clinical educational programs, monitoring of each student's performance and of the effectiveness of programs, and extensive program evaluation by surveying directors of graduates.

    Medical students must be able to access electronic medical records and to utilize the information during bedside learning. However, there are no guidelines for using the electronic medical record system in undergraduate medical education. We created and implemented a written agreement regarding regulations for using the system. To ensure system security, users are authenticated with a fingerprint mouse. The patients' information can be retrieved from an Intranetbased reference database, and students' sheets are prepared for training in writing medical records. In conclusion, this method is a way of enhancing the authenticity of clinical education.

    To determine what aspects of the educational environment during clinical clerkships are considered important by medical students, we designed a questionnaire and performed a survey. The questionnaires were distributed to 5th- and 6th-year medical students at the University of the Ryukyus. The response rates were 78.1% and 100%, respectively. In addition to the students' motivation, the following factors were suggested to be important: a clear role as a member of a team, interaction with enthusiastic attending physicians to improve their medical knowledge and skills, the affability of attending physicians and other departmental staff, and a sincere attitude of attending physicians, such as introducing students to patients. Despite the different periods of exposure to clinical practice between 5th- and 6th-year students, their responses to the questionnaire did not differ significantly.
