Abstract

Information resource utilization by preclinical medical students was studied in the context of a physician-mentored patient rounds (PMPR) exercise. This exercise involved four clinical tasks: creating a differential diagnosis, refining the differential diagnosis, choosing diagnostic tests, and formulating a treatment plan. The assignment required them to record the information resources they used. Individual students typically used a variety of resources. Patient data, prior medical knowledge, Internet resources, and course materials were used by most students. Across clinical tasks, students used progressively less Internet resources and progressively more course materials.
