Medical students at Ohio State University may study the basic medical sciences in an independent study program or in a conventional lecture-discussion program. In a study involving more than 2,000 students over a 10-year period, students pursuing the independent study program and students in the more traditional program performed similarly on Part I of the National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME) examinations and in their required clerkships. However, differences were identified in some content areas and resulted in curricular changes.
俄亥俄州立大学的医学生可以通过独立学习项目或传统的讲座讨论项目来学习基础医学科学。在一项为期10年、涉及2000多名学生的研究中，参加独立学习项目的学生和参加更传统项目的学生在美国国家医学考试委员会（NBME）第一部分考试及必修实习中的表现相似。然而，在某些内容领域发现了差异，并导致了课程的改变。
