To examine the influence of chiropractic education on knowledge of primary care tasks. Scores received on a test of knowledge of primary care tasks were compared between 3 samples of chiropractic students and 1 small sample of medical students.
The taxonomy of primary care tasks that was previously published provided the basis for test items used in this study. A team of test writers prepared an evaluation instrument that was administered to final-term chiropractic students at 3 colleges and to a small sample of medical students as they were entering their residency programs.
The chiropractic students scored below the medical students on the primary care examination in every area except musculoskeletal conditions. Chiropractic students scored higher than medical students on the musculoskeletal portion of the examination.
In this sample, chiropractic students performed almost as well as medical students on a test that was designed to measure knowledge of primary care tasks. If the premise is accepted that medical school is the gold standard of primary care instruction, that chiropractic students fared almost as well as medical students is noteworthy.
研究整脊疗法教育对初级保健任务知识的影响。比较了3组整脊疗法专业学生样本和1组小样本医学生在初级保健任务知识测试中的得分。
先前发表的初级保健任务分类法为该研究中使用的测试项目提供了基础。一个测试编写团队准备了一份评估工具，该工具被用于对3所学院的整脊疗法专业最后一学期的学生以及一小部分进入住院医师培训项目的医学生进行测试。
除肌肉骨骼疾病领域外，整脊疗法专业学生在初级保健考试的各个领域得分均低于医学生。在考试的肌肉骨骼部分，整脊疗法专业学生的得分高于医学生。
在这个样本中，在一项旨在衡量初级保健任务知识的测试中，整脊疗法专业学生的表现几乎与医学生一样好。如果接受医学院是初级保健教学的黄金标准这一前提，那么整脊疗法专业学生的表现几乎与医学生一样好是值得注意的。
