The present study uses data from a nationally administered multiple choice examination (MCE) to assess the performance of Canadian medical students in rheumatology. An average of 1722 medical students undertook to write the Medical Council of Canada (MCC) examination each year between 1978-82. Between 17 and 29 of the 516 MCE questions were of a rheumatological nature and the success rate of students from the 16 Canadian medical schools varied between 65.5 and 78.5% in any given year. No direct correlation was noted between the students' MCE performance and the amount of rheumatology education given at an individual university. Analysis of Arthritis Society Undergraduate Statistics indicated that the average medical student in Canada receives 17.5 h of didactic lectures, 10.4 h of clinical bedside demonstration and 8.9 h of direct supervision of rheumatologic patients by rheumatologists.
本研究使用来自全国性管理的多项选择题考试（MCE）的数据，以评估加拿大医学生在风湿病学方面的表现。1978年至1982年期间，平均每年有1722名医学生参加加拿大医学委员会（MCC）考试。在516道MCE问题中，有17至29道是风湿病学性质的，在任何给定年份，来自16所加拿大医学院的学生成功率在65.5%至78.5%之间。未发现学生的MCE成绩与个别大学提供的风湿病学教育量之间存在直接相关性。关节炎协会本科统计分析表明，加拿大医学生平均接受17.5小时的理论讲座、10.4小时的临床床边示范以及8.9小时由风湿病学家对风湿病患者的直接监督。
