PURPOSE: Action learning is an educational method, whereby participants study their own actions and experiences to improve performance. We aimed to study the effects and share the experiences with action learning to teach clinical performance examination (CPX). METHODS: Twenty-eight fourth-year medical students participated in this study in 2010. This course consisted of three mini-lectures, three CPX practice sessions, and an evaluation. Satisfaction and improved and deficient elements in the CPX practice session were investigated. Internal consistencies of peer evaluation and CPX scores were also investigated using Cronbach’s α. RESULTS: Average satisfaction was 4.5 on a 5-point scale. Low Cronbach’s α was noted for the consistencies of peer evaluation and patient-physician interaction. The most common improved element was self-confidence, followed by accustoming themselves to conversation with the standard patient. Seven students stated that they were deficient in self-confidence; other deficiencies were sympathy expression, conversation, and physical examination. CONCLUSION: CPX education using action learning by peer evaluation, generating CPX cases by themselves, repeated practices, and feedback, effected self-active learning. However, the educator and educatee must invest much time and effort. Allotting specific, scheduled times for this type of education would be more effective.
