Abstract
A Student Model Utilization Review Committee Project is in progress at Jefferson Medical College. Students participate in the program for 90 minutes during the six weeks of their clerkship in family medicine at the university hospital. Information collected from participants and controls before and after the program indicates that the experimental group has greater knowledge and more positive attitudes about utilization review and cost control in the health care field than do the controls. Students express positive feelings about the program. More importantly, one year later, as seniors, those in the experimental group demonstrated clinical behavior which was more consistent with the objectives of the program than other students. These results have led the Department of Family Medicine to incorporate the utilization review program into its formal curriculum beginning in the 1979-1980 academic year.
