Comparing How Well Two Undergraduate Curricula Teach Knowledge of Internal Medicine.

Schreiber, Martin

Academic Medicine, v72 n10 pS127-S129 suppl 1 Oct 1997

A study compared scores on identical tests in internal medicine for two groups of graduating University of Toronto (Canada) medical students: those in a traditional, lecture-based curriculum (TC) and those in a redesigned curriculum with less didactic instruction and more clinical experience (NC). All comparisons showed a significantly higher score for TC students than for NC students. (MSE)
