The purpose of this study was to examine whether the National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME) Medicine Examination provides a reasonable assessment tool for testing students' knowledge acquired during a medicine clerkship.
Comparison of the performances of two classes of medical students on the NBME Part II Medicine Examination on the first and last days of 12-week medicine clerkships in a two-year period (1985-87).
176 medical students in two consecutive classes at the Oregon Health Sciences University.
There was no significant difference in students' performances on the NBME Part II Medicine Examination on the first day of the medicine clerkship, regardless of the quarter in which they took the clerkship. Prior clerkship experiences did not appear to influence the baseline pre-clerkship internal medicine knowledge base as defined by NBME Part II Medicine Examination performances. Students in the second half of the year, however, demonstrated greater gains in post-clerkship NBME Part II Medicine Examination performances than did their counterparts from the first half of the year, despite similar pre-clerkship testing performances.
本研究旨在检验美国医学考试委员会(NBME)的医学考试是否为测试医学生在临床实习期间所学知识提供了一种合理的评估工具。
在两年期间(1985 - 1987年),对两个班级的医学生在为期12周的临床实习的第一天和最后一天进行的NBME第二部分医学考试成绩进行比较。
俄勒冈健康科学大学连续两个班级的176名医学生。
在临床实习第一天进行的NBME第二部分医学考试中,学生的成绩没有显著差异,无论他们在哪个季度进行临床实习。先前的临床实习经历似乎并未影响由NBME第二部分医学考试成绩所定义的临床实习前内科知识基线。然而,下半年的学生在临床实习后的NBME第二部分医学考试成绩上比上半年的学生有更大的提高,尽管他们在临床实习前的测试成绩相似。
