Purpose: Documenting clinical encounters in the electronic health record has become an important component of medical student training. Reflecting this trend, recent rule changes by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid services now permit billing for medical student notes. We sought to investigate the educational value of student note-writing following implementation of these changes. Methods: We surveyed medical students at a private research university who participated in longitudinal ambulatory care experiences. Survey questions assessed the incorporation of student note-writing into clinic workflow, as well as the benefits and disadvantages of note-writing. Results: Thirty-six students completed the survey. A majority of students perceived benefits in regards to residency preparedness, engagement with the clinical team, and clinical reasoning ability as a result of writing notes in clinic. While some students reported seeing fewer patients as a result of note-writing, most felt that use of the electronic health record did not negatively impact patient interaction. Barriers cited included a lack of knowledge regarding billing requirements and preceptor apprehension toward student note-writing. Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that student note-writing continues to be a valuable part of medical training following recent billing changes. Our results also identify areas for improvement, including clarifying billing requirements and assuaging preceptor concerns.
