The University of South Dakota School of Medicine requires that students undertake a Community Medicine project of their choice as part of the Family Medicine course in the third year of medical school. One of these projects consisted of a presentation given to a high school class in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, on sexually transmitted diseases. The effectiveness of the presentation in increasing the students' knowledge on this subject was measured by a pretest and posttest multiple choice examination. The students' knowledge was clearly increased by the presentation.
