Validity and Use of Written Simulation Tests of Clinical Performance

Palva, Ilmari P.; Korhonen, Vieno

Journal of Medical Education, 51, 8, 657-61, Aug 76

The outcome of a simulated clinical problem (drug-induced agranulocytosis) was compared with the outcome of similar cases in real medical service. The total performance of 100 sixth-year medical students at the end of their clerkship in internal medicine resulted in a mortality of 10 percent in the simulation exercise. (Editor/LBH)
