A Test of Clinical Learning by Medical Students
Abstract
The authors compared the performance of different classes of medical students on an examination using videotaped clinical material. Although the examination was designed to test some aspects of clinical learning, the principal finding was that students achieved high scores at the end of two years of preclinical work; after that no further increment was found. This points up the need to evaluate test instruments carefully and especially to continue direct assessment of students doing clinical work.
