A comparison of the clinical performance of students in three-and four-year curricula.

The purpose of this paper is to report the clinical performance of medical students prepared in three-and four-year curricula. The students were evaluated in five categories: fund of knowledge, medical skills, problem-solving, professional standards, and reliability. The examination of the National Board of Medical Examiners were administered in three of the clinical clerkships. The results indicate that the students performed equally well in most areas, and little difference in clinical performance could be demonstrated between the groups.

Complement and Fc receptors on cord blood and adult neutrophils.

The percentage of neutrophils forming erythrocyte-antibody-complement complex (EAC) and with erythrocyte-antibody complex (EAG) was determined for 30 normal newborns and 10 normal adults. The cord values ranged from 84-100% EAC binding cells with a mean of 95%. The adult values ranged from 89-100% EAG binding cells with a mean of 96% rosetted neutrophils. The mean percentage of EAG binding cells in the cord samples was 81%, whereas in the seven adult samples the mean was 87%.
