摘要:

The results of a predictive validity study of the new Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) using criteria from the clinical years of undergraduate medical education are presented and discussed. The criteria included course grades and faculty ratings of clerks in internal medicine, surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, and psychiatry; scores on a comprehensive test of clinical knowledge (including patient management type examinations); and scores on Part II of the examinations of the National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME). While the validity coefficients of the MCAT with the Part II examinations ranged from .03 to .47, they were higher than those of undergraduate grade-point averages with the same criteria. The implications of the small-to-medium size validity coefficients for admissions are discussed.

摘要:

Four groups of medical school matriculants (43 with a B.A. degree in social sciences, 68 with a B.A. degree in the humanities, 49 with a B.A. degree in science, and 40 with a B.S. degree in science) were studied. No significant difference was found among the four groups on yearly grade-point averages in medical school or on parts I, II, and III of the examinations of the National Board of Medical Examiners. Those with an undergraduate degree in the humanities considered leaving medical school more frequently than the others. A substantial proportion of medical students with an undergraduate major in the sciences and social sciences reported they would choose the humanities if they were once again high school seniors. Those with a science background were disproportionately more likely than the others to choose residencies in internal medicine and surgery, and those with undergraduate degrees in the humanities and social sciences were more likely to choose psychiatry residencies.

摘要:

In a survey conducted by the authors, volunteer faculty members were found to be generally satisfied with their role in medical education, despite their acknowledgement of problems involving respect and responsibility when working with academic colleagues. These problems and the indifference of the volunteers to them are delineated. The structural reasons for simultaneous recognition of an indifference to problems are discussed in relation to the erosion of the utilization and authority of volunteer faculty members.

摘要:

“Early outreach” may be defined as a long-term, talent-development strategy designed to prepare a well qualified pool of disadvantaged and underrepresented minority applicants for entry into health professions schools, particularly medical schools. The concept of early outreach is to prepare, motivate, and educate talented, economically disadvantaged junior high or secondary school students to gain the necessary academic qualifications to make high school graduation, college attendance, and health careers a reality. In this paper the author defines the problem to which early outreach is addressed and discussed the contextual and historical background of the concept. A number of programs at the Health Sciences Center at the University of Illinois at Chicago designed and implemented to provide a model to achieve the concept of early outreach are described.

摘要:

In the research reported here, the authors compared (a) the abilities of third- and fourth-year students and physicians to solve problems requiring review of current literature with (b) the information-seeking procedures of the three groups in researching those problems. The subjects were given a patient care question to answer, and logs were maintained to document their information-seeking processes. The findings indicated no differences among the three groups in accurately solving patient care problems; a difference in information-seeking processes between third-year students and physicians; and no differences between third-year and fourth-year students or between physicians and fourth-year students in their approaches to seeking information. Mean scores indicated that all three groups need additional training on accessing the literature in making patient care decisions.

摘要:

In this article, the authors present a method to assist in curriculum planning and report an application of the method at one institution. Through interviews of 40 selected subjects, the authors identified 27 content elements appropriate for inclusion in a family medicine curriculum for medical students. These elements were organized into four areas portraying family medicine as “a synthesis of content and process,” “a field of inquiry,” “a career and peer group,” and “a value system.” A questionnaire employing the method of pair-comparisons was subsequently completed by 38 of the interview subjects, and on the basis of these responses priorities were assigned to content elements within each area. For three of the four areas, there was statistically significant consensus about the priority orderings. Over three years, the content elements themselves and their priority orderings have proved beneficial to curricular planning at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine.
