The Interaction of Student Gender and Standardized-Patient Gender on a Performance-Based Examination of Clinical Competence.

Colliver, Jerry A.; And Others

Academic Medicine, v66 n9 suppl pS31-33 Sep 1991

A study investigated the performance of 6 successive medical school classes on 80 standardized-patient case examinations, looking for effects of student or standardized-patient gender on scores. Results showed no interaction of any practical consequence. Cases with gender-related concern (e.g., breast problems) also did not differentiate between genders. (MSE)
