Writing medical observations in psychiatry

Writing a medical observation is one of the objectives of the clinical placement for PCEM 2 students at the Faculty of Medicine in Tunis. However the contribution of this learning has not yet been objectively evaluated either by the learners or by the teachers. The aim of this study is to evaluate a learning schedule for writing medical observations in psychiatry (anamnestic and semiological data collection and syndromic grouping) and to assess the contribution of this learning. The educational quality of hospital placements is a real challenge for any medical school. Hospital placements are an important opportunity to develop students'' medical writing skills.
