Critical Thinking in Preclinical Course Examinations.

Miller, Deborah A.; And Others

Academic Medicine, v68 n4 p303-05 Apr 1993

A study correlated the results of 25 medical school course examinations (largely multiple-choice), a standardized critical thinking inventory, undergraduate and medical school grade point averages, and medical college admissions test scores for 196 preclinical medical students. Findings suggest that objective multiple-choice examinations can at least partially reflect critical-thinking skills. (Author/MSE)
