To determine if the timing of the obstetric/gynecologic (OB/GYN) clerkship affects the final grade achieved.
The final examination grades on the OB/GYN clerkship for 165 students over a three-year period were compared according to when in the year the clerkship was taken. Premedical Medical College Admission Test scores (MCAT) were used to determine the academic potential of each clerkship group.
There was a statistically significant correlation between the MCAT scores and the National Board of Medical Examiners clerkship examination score (r = .22, P < .005). No differences were found in the clerkship examination scores for students doing their rotations early or late in the third year.
These results suggest that students with similar academic potential will do equally well on OB/GYN clerkship examinations whether they take their rotation early or late in the third year of medical school.
确定妇产科实习的时间安排是否会影响最终成绩。
根据165名学生在三年期间参加妇产科实习的时间，比较他们在该实习中的期末考试成绩。医学院入学考试（MCAT）的预医科成绩用于确定每个实习组的学术潜力。
MCAT成绩与美国国家医学考试委员会实习考试成绩之间存在统计学上的显著相关性（r = 0.22，P < 0.005）。在三年级早期或晚期进行轮转的学生，其实习考试成绩没有差异。
这些结果表明，学术潜力相似的学生，无论在医学院三年级早期还是晚期进行妇产科实习轮转，在妇产科实习考试中的表现都同样出色。
