A study of 99 international graduate medical students in an internal medicine program compared performance on two standardized English-language-proficiency tests with three measures of success: patient satisfaction; faculty and colleague evaluations; and scores on an objective test of medical knowledge. Patient satisfaction and faculty/colleague evaluations were found related to English language skills. (Author/MSE)
