Do medical students taking an intercalated BSc degree obtain higher marks during their subsequent clinical examination? Fourteen students who did a BSc during the academic year 1988-89 were matched, by sex and preclinical grades, with students in the year they left, and with students in the year they subsequently joined. Marks or grades in 10 subsequent examinations were compared. Seven of 10 comparisons with the year the BSc students left were to the advantage of the intercalated students, and two comparisons were statistically significant. Seven of 10 comparisons with the year the BSc students subsequently joined were to the advantage of the non-intercalating students, though none reached statistical significance. No consistent short-term academic advantages arising from having done a BSc could be found. We suggest the study be replicated in other medical schools with different course examination structures.
攻读插读理学士学位的医学生在随后的临床考试中会获得更高的分数吗？1988 - 1989学年攻读理学士学位的14名学生，按照性别和临床前成绩，与他们离开时同届的学生以及随后入学年份的学生进行了匹配。比较了随后10次考试的分数或成绩。与攻读理学士学位学生离开年份的学生相比，10次比较中有7次对插读学生有利，2次比较具有统计学意义。与攻读理学士学位学生随后入学年份的学生相比，10次比较中有7次对非插读学生有利，尽管没有一次达到统计学意义。未发现攻读理学士学位能带来一致的短期学业优势。我们建议在其他具有不同课程考试结构的医学院重复这项研究。
