Commentary on "A Structural Model of Medical Student Achievement."

Forsythe, George B.

Teaching and Learning in Medicine, v2 n4 p198-99 1990

A theoretical model for predicting medical student achievement (HE 528 467) is reviewed and found to be a significant improvement over previous predictive studies, to well illustrate the use of structural equation modeling in medical education research, and to offer an approach to practical research problems with potential to increase the generalizability of research findings.
