Long-Term Follow-Up of an Alternative Medical Curriculum.
Foster, Eugene A.
Academic Medicine, v69 n6 p501-06 Jun 1994
A 20-year follow-up study of 37 students enrolled in a University of Virginia alternative medical education curriculum found the program was successful in improving students' morale during preclinical instruction, preparing them for clerkships, and increasing sensitivity to patients. It was not effective in inducing students to enter primary care specialties. (Author/MSE)
