Rambo, William M.; And Others

Academic Medicine, v64 n7 p405-07 Jul 1989

A comparison of the experiences of 683 surgery students taking preceptorships in community hospitals and 696 taking only university-based rotations found no significant differences in individual characteristics, academic performance, choice of specialty for the first postgraduate year, or program director evaluations. The preceptorships were popular with students. (MSE)
