Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the effect of clinical clerkship-associated achievements, such as performance of procedures at the student clinic, observation, and attitude towards a clerkship, on the objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) scores of dental students graduating in restorative dentistry. Materials and Methods: The OSCEs consisted of two stations designed to assess students' clinical skills regarding cavity preparation for a class II gold inlay and a class IV composite restoration. The clerkship achievements, consisting of the number of student clinical procedures performed, observation-related OSCE, and scores of their attitudes towards a conservative dentistry clerkship, were assessed. Correlation and multiple regression analyses were conducted. Results: The correlation coefficient between the OSCE scores for cavity preparation for a class II gold restoration and clerkship attitude scores was 0.241 (p < 0.05). Regarding a class IV composite restoration, OSCE scores showed statistically significant correlations with the observation (r = 0.344, p < 0.01) and attitude (r = 0.303, p < 0.01) scores. In a multiple regression analysis, attitudes towards a clerkship (p = 0.033) was associated with the cavity preparation for a class II gold inlay OSCE scores, while the number of procedure observations (p = 0.002) was associated with the class IV composite restoration OSCE scores. Conclusions: The number of clinical procedures performed by students, which is an important requirement for graduation, showed no correlation with either of the OSCEs scores.

본 연구는 졸업시점의 치의학전문대학원생 79명을 대상으로 소아치과학 OSCE(Objective Structured Clinical Examination)성적과 이전까지 이수한 소아치과학 교과목들 성적간의 관계를 분석함으로써 소아치과학 교육과정 운영을 평가하고 발전적 시사를 도출하는 데에 목적이 있다. 소아치과학이론 교과목은 이전 이수과목인 임상전단계실습 성적(r = 0.449, p = 0.000), 이후 이수과목인 임상실습성적(r = 0.437, p = 0.000)과 상관관계가 있었다. 하지만 졸업시점의 OSCE성적은 단지 임상전단계실습 과목 성적(r = 0.302, p = 0.003)과 상관관계를 보였다. 이는 OSCE 신뢰도가 Cronbach's ${\alpha}0.733$을 고려하면 OSCE 자체 문제보다는 교육과정 상에 있어서 임상실습 교과목 운영에 문제가 있음을 추론할 수 있다. 치과대학병원에서 교수의 특진을 선호하고 학생들에 의한 진료를 기피하는 진료 현장에서 학생들에 대한 직접적인 지도와 피드백을 통해 임상역량을 강화하기 위해서는 학생 지도를 위한 교수 수 확보와 같은 교육여건이 마련되어야 한다. 또한 이론적 지식 및 술기교육이 임상진료 현장에서 잘 적용되고 심화되기 위해서는 교육과정에 대한 보다 구체적인 평가와 함께 임상실습 단계에 있어서도 기본적 술기에 대한 지속적인 교육과 평가가 점검되도록 하는 실질적 개선 방안이 모색되어야 한다.

The aim of this study was to analyze the research trends in articles published in the Korean Journal of Medical Education (KJME) and Korean Medical Education Review (KMER) using keyword network analysis. The analyses included 507 papers from 2010 to 2019 published in KJME and KMER. First, keyword frequency analysis showed that the research topics that appeared in both journals were "medical student," "curriculum," "clinical clerkship," and "undergraduate medical education." Second, centrality analysis of a network map of the keywords identified "curriculum" and "medical student" as highly important research topics in both journals. Third, a cluster analysis of 20 core keywords in KMER identified research clusters related to academic motivation, achievement, educational measurement, medical competence, and clinical practice (centered on "learning," while in KJME, clusters were related to educational method and program evaluation, medical competence, and clinical practice (centered on "teaching"). In conclusion, future medical education research needs to expand to encompass other research areas, such as educational methods, student evaluations, the educational environment, student counseling, and curriculum.
