Abstract

Abstract: Cultivating the professionalism of medical students was an important task in the education process of medical schools. The clinical clerkship was a critical period for medical students to develop their professionalism. During this period, the interaction between medical students and patients was the main way for medical students to contact the clinic and improve their capacity, and also a key to foster professionalism. This article summarized the research on the professionalism training of medical students during clinical clerkship, and found that the professionalism development of medical students was affected by the interactive experience with patients. The experiential learning theory had the potential to explain the mechanism of the professionalism of the interaction between medical students and patients, and so may be well applied to guide the process of interactions between students and patients. At the same time, it provided suggestions for the professionalism training of medical students during clinical clerkship.

Key words: Experiential learning theory, Professionalism training, Clinical clerkship, Research progress, Inspiration
