Background: The purpose of this study was to compare students’ awareness of and satisfaction with clerkships in family medicine between a university hospital and a community hospital or clinic.Methods: Thirty-eight 4th year medical students who were undergoing a clerkship in family medicine in the 1st se-mester of 2012 were surveyed via questionnaire. The questionnaire was administered both before and after the clerkship.Results: External clerkships were completed in eight family medicine clinics and two regional hospitals. At pre-clerkship, participants showed strong expectation for understanding primary care and recognition of the need for community clerkship, mean scores of 4.3±0.5 and 4.1±0.7, respectively. At post-clerkship, participants showed a significant increase in recognition of the need for community clerkship (4.7±0.5, P<0.001). The pre-clerkship recog-nition of differences in patient characteristics between university hospitals and community hospitals or clinics was 4.1±0.7; at post-clerkship, it was 3.9±0.7. Students’ confidence in their ability to see a first-visit patient and their ex-pectation of improved interviewing skills both significantly increased at post-clerkship (P<0.01). Satisfaction with feedback from preceptors and overall satisfaction with the clerkship also significantly increased, but only for the university hospital clerkship (P<0.01).Conclusion: Students’ post-clerkship satisfaction was uniformly high for both clerkships. At pre-clerkship, students were aware of the differences in patient characteristics between university hospitals and community hospitals or clinics, and this awareness did not change by the end of the clerkship.
