Blacklow, Robert S.; And Others

Academic Medicine, v66 n9 suppl pS10-12 Sep 1991

A study developed and evaluated five class ranking models for graduating medical students (n=1,283) in which performance data from both basic and clinical sciences could be used to study the models' predictive validity. Two models yielded higher validity; one is recommended for balance of clinical and basic science measures. (MSE)
