An Analysis of Long-Term Outcomes of the Impact of Curriculum: A Comparison of the Three- and Four-Year Medical School Curricula
Academic Medicine, 09/30/09

Lockyer J et al. – The authors analyzed review data for 498 physicians. The results of ANCOVA showed that no significant differences existed among schools for the self and the patient aggregate mean questionnaire scores. Aggregate mean questionnaire scores from the medical colleague and coworker surveys were significant, albeit with a small effect size. MANCOVA showed small but significant differences among schools on the aggregate mean factor scores for medical colleague, coworker, and patient questionnaires. Although differences among schools exist, they are small. They suggest at least equivalent performance for graduates of three– and four–year medical schools who practice in Alberta.
