Previous Studies

Undermine learning through inefficiencies

(Hieman et al. 2014)

Compromise patient contact and rapport

(Rouf et al. 2008)

Exclude students from clinical tasks

(Mintz et al. 2009) (Hammoud et al. 2007)

Receive greater feedback

(Rouf et al. 2008)

Benefit from in-built resources

(Keenan et al. 2006)

Medical students are receptive to EMRs

(Tierney et al. 1994)
