Comparison of third-year student performance in a twelve-month longitudinal ambulatory program with performance in traditional clerkship curriculum.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: The Yankton Ambulatory Program is the oldest 12-month, integrated, longitudinal, ambulatory third-year curricular model in medical schools in the United States and Canada. Students in this program do not complete any clerkships in traditional block schedules. PURPOSE: Compare performance of students from the Yankton Ambulatory Program with students from traditional clerkships at the same institution. METHODS: Mean scores on three shelf examinations (Internal Medicine, OB/GYN and Surgery) all taken three times during the year (October, March and June) were compared between Yankton Ambulatory Program students and students from traditional clerkships. RESULTS: No significant statistical differences were found between Yankton Ambulatory Program students and students from traditional clerkships. There are indications that students in the Yankton Ambulatory Program show a steady increase in fund of knowledge throughout the year with better information retention. CONCLUSIONS: Performance on national shelf board examinations among students in longitudinal programs is equal to performance of students in traditional programs. There also appears to be better retention of knowledge among students in longitudinal programs.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
