Richards, Boyd F.; And Others
Academic Medicine, v71 n2 p187-89 Feb 1996
A study compared the performances of Wake Forest University (North Carolina) medical students rotating through an internal medicine program, 88 in a problem-based curriculum and 364 in a lecture-based curriculum. Students in the problem-based curriculum received significantly higher ratings from house staff and faculty on four clinical rating scales, but showed no difference on standardized licensing test scores.
