MEDICAL STUDENTS' EVALUATION IN OBSTETRICS AND GYNECOLOGY

From the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, and the Educational Planning and Development Program of the Medical College of Virginia, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, Virginia.

A system for the evaluation of clinical clerks in obstetrics and gynecology is presented. Final grades were assigned through faculty judgment rather than by the use of a numerical formula. Judgment was based on narratives and grades on clinical performance as well as results of oral and written examinations. All elements of the evaluation correlated with the final grade. The clinical grade correlated best. The final grades assigned by judgment were compared with those that would have resulted from applying a numerical formula. They differed in the distribution of higher grades, but were identical for the lower grades. Both correlated equally with the Obstetrics and Gynecology subtest of the National Boards, Part II examination.
