Outcome Measurement in Postgraduate Year One of Graduates from a Medical School with a Pass/Fail Grading System.

Vosti, Kenneth L.; Jacobs, Charlotte D.

Academic Medicine, v74 n5 p547-49 May 1999

A study investigated the clinical preparedness of 144 Stanford University (California) medical school graduates in 11 areas, comparing it with peers from graded medical schools and rating the accuracy of the dean's letter in representing graduates' capabilities. Results indicate that graduates from Stanford's two-interval, pass/fail system successfully matched with strong, highly-sought-after postgraduate training programs. (Author/MSE)
