A required first-year course at George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences, entitled Studying a Study: Methods for Reading the Medical Literature, was evaluated by the author to determine the students' perception of the course's effectiveness, changes in the students' perception of their competence in reading medical literature, the students' knowledge of research study design and statistics, and the effect of the course on the students' journal reading. Students who took the course were questioned before and after the course and as fourth-year students and were compared with fourth-year students in a prior class that had not been offered the course. Students rated the course as effective. The students who took the course rated themselves as more competent and had greater knowledge than did the class that did not take the course. These students' ratings and scores declined, however, from the first to the fourth year. A required preclinical course in study design and statistics can be well received and can affect students' knowledge and perceptions of their competence. Reinforcement is necessary to maintain the results.
乔治华盛顿大学医学院与健康科学学院的一门必修一年级课程，名为“研究一项研究：医学文献阅读方法”，作者对其进行了评估，以确定学生对该课程有效性的看法、学生对自身医学文献阅读能力认知的变化、学生对研究设计和统计学的知识掌握情况，以及该课程对学生期刊阅读的影响。修读该课程的学生在课程前后以及作为四年级学生时接受了询问，并与之前未开设该课程的班级中的四年级学生进行了比较。学生们认为该课程很有效。修读该课程的学生认为自己比未修读该课程的班级更有能力，知识也更丰富。然而，这些学生的评分和成绩从第一年到第四年有所下降。一门关于研究设计和统计学的必修临床前课程可能会受到好评，并能影响学生的知识以及他们对自身能力的认知。需要强化措施来维持这些成果。
