For MD/PhD students, the transition to medical school following graduate research can be difficult. We developed a clinical intervention, the Clinical Preceptorship Program (CPP), for MD/PhD students at Vanderbilt to ease the transition to the core clinical clerkship year (the 3rd medical year) following graduate training. In this study, we determined whether the CPP prepared MD/PhD students adequately for medical school reentry.
Clerkship grades were obtained for 680 medical students and 50 MD/PhD students for academic years 2004-2010. A student's unpaired t test was used to analyze differences between group grades.
We did not detect significant differences in the grades of the MD versus MD/PhD students. No differences in individual clerkships were detected with the exception of the Surgery clerkship.
These data suggest that the CPP intervention was successful in preparing MD/PhD students for the core clerkship year. Such a clinical intervention can be an effective preparation for MD/PhD students returning to medical school.
对于医学博士（MD/PhD）学生来说，研究生研究之后进入医学院可能会很困难。我们为范德比尔特大学的 MD/PhD 学生开发了一种临床指导项目（CPP），以帮助他们顺利过渡到研究生培训后的核心临床实习年（第三学年）。在这项研究中，我们确定 CPP 是否为 MD/PhD 学生充分做好了重返医学院的准备。
我们获取了 2004 年至 2010 年期间 680 名医学生和 50 名 MD/PhD 学生的实习成绩。采用学生的未配对 t 检验分析两组成绩的差异。
我们没有发现 MD 学生和 MD/PhD 学生的成绩有显著差异。除了外科实习外，没有发现个别实习课程之间存在差异。
这些数据表明，CPP 干预措施成功地为 MD/PhD 学生做好了核心实习年的准备。这种临床干预措施可以为重返医学院的 MD/PhD 学生提供有效的准备。
