Influence of a Medicine Clerkship Conference Series on Students' Acquisition of Knowledge.

Magarian, Gregory J.

Academic Medicine, v68 n12 p923-26 Dec 1993

A study investigated the effect of participation in an intensive internal medicine conference series during a third-year medicine clerkship (n=173 students) on medical licensing examination scores and compared this with scores in surgery and pediatrics and scores of 466 students not participating in the conference. Better test performance on the medicine subtest by participants was found. (Author/MSE)
