Much to the benefit of patients and medical education, medical students are participating in patient care from the start of their medical education. Initially, students may be mere observers, but soon they assume more responsibilities, such as monitoring the condition of patients and even becoming involved directly in treatment. Patients and the public benefit from the integrated care that is provided by health care teams that include medical students and other trainees. Students' limited experience is counter-balanced by the supervisory structure of medical teams and patient care generally is enhanced by the involvement of medical students. Even so, some patients may prefer that students not be involved in their care. Others patients will value the opportunity to participate in the training of students in the context of receiving care in a teaching institution.
