Comparing Medical School Graduates Who Perform Poorly in Residency with Graduates Who Perform Well.

Brown, Ellen; And Others

Academic Medicine, v68 n10 p806-08 Oct 1993

A study of 20 graduate medical students who received unfavorable evaluations and 20 who received the highest evaluations found little difference between the groups in medical school admission qualifications, overall academic achievement, or standardized test performance. Ratings appear to be the result of personal or motivational issues, not predicted in student records. (Author/MSE)
