“…Next, respondents were asked about their attitudes toward students and the possible reasons for their acceptance or refusal of student involvement in the whole clinic process, including history taking and intimate/pelvic examination. As there were different acceptance rates for male and female medical students in previous studies, 1,[14][15][16][17][18] this part was designed to ask patients about their attitudes toward involving four specific groups of medical students in consultations and pelvic or obstetrical examinations: Chinese female (CF), International female (IF), Chinese male (CM), and International male (IM). They were asked to rate their acceptance level on a 5-point ordinal scale (1 ¼ strongly agree, 2 ¼ agree, 3 ¼ neutral, 4 ¼ disagree, and 5 ¼ strongly disagree).…”

Phenomenon: China is a relatively homogenous nation where the majority of people are Han Chinese. In recent years, a large number of international students have begun to study medicine in China. Due to the privacy and intimacy associated with obstetrical and gynecological diseases, Chinese women's acceptance toward international students' involvement in their care has not been reported thus far. This survey aims (1) to determine Chinese women's attitudes toward both Chinese and international medical student involvements in obstetrical and gynecological outpatient departments and (2) to investigate possible reasons, if any, for their rejection of the medical students. Approach: We conducted a cross-sectional survey study using a locally-developed questionnaire. The survey was conducted in the obstetrical and gynecological outpatient department of a tertiary hospital in a Chinese harbor city. We surveyed 600 patients for their attitudes towards the involvement of four groups of medical student in clinical practice: Chinese female, International female, Chinese male, and International male. Among the returned questionnaires, 501 satisfied the criteria for analysis. Findings: Patient's acceptance rates of the four groups of students (Chinese female, International female, Chinese male, and International male) were 59.7%, 55.9%, 32.1%, and 25.9%, respectively. Analysis revealed that language barriers and lack of friendliness were the two main reasons leading to patients' low acceptance rates of international students. Insights: Obstetrical and gynecological patients are more likely to accept female students over male students, regardless of their nationality, however International male students receive the least acceptance. For international students, improving their Chinese language skills and using more friendly expressions may facilitate their practice in China.

“…Numerous studies have shown that male students are more likely to be refused than female students. 3,[7][8][9][10][11][12] Though many studies have evaluated the rate of medical student refusal and reasons for refusal, few studies have been published regarding interventions to decrease rates of medical student refusal. 13 The frequency of refusal among students and reasons for refusal had not previously been investigated at the University of Iowa.…”

Purpose: To describe the frequency at which students are refused from patient care, and to evaluate the impact of interventions designed to reduce medical student refusal. Background: Medical student refusal from patient care is perceived to be a common problem during the Ob-Gyn clerkship at the University of Iowa. Review of the literature shows that medical student refusal is common in a variety of clerkships1-4. Few studies have evaluated interventions to reduce the rate of refusal.
