The study proposed to determine if a preclinical basic science index comprised of anatomy, behavioral medicine, biochemistry, microbiology, pathology, pharmacology, and physiology courses or any one of these basic science courses would predict student performance during surgical clerkship. The basic science index demonstrated a correlation of 0.55 and 0.35 with the individual student's written and oral clerkship scores, respectively. A stepwise multiple regression using a backward stepping algorithm was applied; the dependent variables were oral and written clerkship scores, and the independent variables were the basic science courses. Microbiology, pathology, and physiology course scores were predictors of written score (R = 0.60). Pathology course scores were the sole predictor of oral score (R = 0.43). Medical student basic science performance was not a strong forecaster of performance on the surgical clerkship. The pathology basic science score was the only consistent predictor of performance on the written and oral evaluations given at the end of the clerkship.
该研究旨在确定由解剖学、行为医学、生物化学、微生物学、病理学、药理学和生理学课程组成的临床前基础科学指数，或这些基础科学课程中的任何一门，是否能够预测学生在外科实习期间的表现。基础科学指数与学生个人的笔试和口试成绩的相关性分别为0.55和0.35。应用了使用向后逐步算法的逐步多元回归；因变量是口试和笔试成绩，自变量是基础科学课程。微生物学、病理学和生理学课程成绩是笔试成绩的预测指标（R = 0.60）。病理学课程成绩是口试成绩的唯一预测指标（R = 0.43）。医学生的基础科学表现并不是外科实习表现的有力预测指标。病理学基础科学成绩是实习结束时进行的笔试和口试中表现的唯一一致预测指标。
