Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A summer enrichment physiology course for matriculating medical students has met a number of short-term goals, including bringing the students to the level of average medical student performance by the end of the summer. The long-term benefit of the program was evaluated by constructing a prospective expectation for each member of the medical class. Physiology grades obtained by past medical students were regressed on their undergraduate grades and MCAT scores. This regression model was used in a prospective manner to predict a physiology course grade for the entering class. Six of the seven summer program participants achieved scores equal to or higher than their predicted scores. Additionally, the regression model identified prospectively four of the six medical students who scored below 70% for the medical physiology course. This study suggests that a summer enrichment program can benefit participants. |
