- W2886583078 abstract "Welcome to the fourth issue of The British Student Doctor.In this issue, we feature ‘The case of the vanishing medical student’ by Henry Dunn, amedical student at King’s College London, and his colleagues Thomas Taylor andAmanda Bacon, medical students at the University of Oxford. In this reflective piece,they discuss how medical students are failing to take full opportunity of clinicalplacements. The authors believe that this is due to a number of factors, including thelimited availability of bedside teaching, a culture of not wishing to overburden busyjunior doctors, and a perception that there is little to gain from so called ‘ward work’.As medical students, we also experienced the same challenges during our clinicalattachments; being encouraged to study textbooks rather than to spend time onclinical placements or to ‘take advantage’ of our free time whilst we could beforefacing the pressures of life in the NHS. Now as junior doctors at the end of ourfoundation year, reflecting back on the issues raised by Dunn et al., we understandthese perceptions. However, we also realise with new insight the importance of usingclinical practice to gain as much preparation as possible before the transition frommedical student to junior doctor. Having passed through this phase recently, thechange in responsibility that this passage entails cannot be underestimated.Sir William Osler, a Canadian physician who founded John Hopkins Hospital inBaltimore, Maryland, and was the pioneer of bedside teaching, wrote in his bookAequanimitas in 1904:“He who studies medicine without books sails an uncharted sea, but he who studies medicinewithout patients does not go to sea at all.”When under pressure as junior doctors, often during the middle of the night on abusy ward cover shift, it is not the textbooks that we remember, but the patients thatwe have encountered as medical students on clinical attachments. These experiencesserve as the guidance that we need to manage the most difficult of situations, andeven to find solace in during the most stressful of times. However, we also realisethat we now hold a responsibility to optimise the experience of medical students inour hospitals, to ensure that they do not feel undervalued or burdensome. It is alsoour responsibility to act as role models for the students that we teach, and stress thevalue of clinical attachments.In this issue of The British Student Doctor, we also feature research by Andy Chengand his colleagues on ‘Analysing ethnic differences in compulsory admissions for psychiatricdisorders in the UK’. This pertinent work reveals worse outcomes for persons of ethnicminority backgrounds. Jernej Zorman and ‘Skin picking disorders – what can we learn from such a topical issue?’ byGeorge Johnson and colleagues.Finally, we also publish an article by Luke Roberts and his colleagues at the EvelinaLondon Children’s Hospital on the topic of clinical coding. This article provides a rareinsight into a process which is considered esoteric by most junior doctors, but is aprocess in which they play an important role, and is vital for NHS funding.We hope that you enjoy reading this issue of The British Student Doctor. We would liketo extend our gratitude to the medical students, junior doctors and faculty staff thathave contributed to this issue of the journal. If any of the articles in this issue raisediscussion, we would be pleased to consider a correspondence piece in response. Ourauthor guidelines can be found on our website and offer all of the necessary guidancefor submitting manuscripts for consideration for publication in our next issue." @default.
