Does medical school performance predict radiology resident performance

摘要: Abstract Rationale and Objectives The authors performed this study to examine the relationship, if any, of a large number measures medical school performance with radiology residency performance. Materials Methods Applications 77 residents enrolled from 1991 2000 were reviewed. Medical grades, dean's letter summary statements, letters recommendation, selection Alpha Omega (AOA), National Board Examiners (NBME) U.S. Licensing Examination (USMLE) Step 1 scores recorded. Student t tests, analysis variance, correlation coefficients used relationship between these subsequent during as determined by rotation evaluations, retrospective faculty recall scores, American College Radiology (ACR) (ABR) examination scores. Resident was also correlated prestige attended. Results Preclinical grades Honors or A; clinical A in medicine, surgery, pediatrics; high NBME/USMLE strongly predicted success on ABR written but did not predict Most other performance, including outstanding Dean's AOA senior year, superior residency. Conclusion Success can be preclinical courses, some USMLE letters, do appear future resident reliably.
