Abstract

Background Medical: education curriculum improvements can be achieved bye valuating students performance. Medical students have to pass two undergraduate comprehensive examinations, basic science and preinternship, in fran.Purpose To measure validity of the students' mean score in comprehensive basic science exam (CBS£) for predicting their pe1jormance in later curriculum phases.Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 95 (38 women and 55 men) Guilan medical university students. Their admission to the university was 81% by regional quota and 12% by shaheed and other organizations' share. They first enrolled in 1994 and were able to pass CBS£ at first try. Data on gender, regional quota, and average grades of CBS£, PC, and CPIE were collected by a questionnaire. The calculations were done by SPSS package.Results: The correlation coefficient between CBS£ and CPIE mean scores (0.65) was higher than correlation coefficient between CBS£ and PC mean scores (0.49). The predictive validity of CBS£ average grade was significant for students' perfonnance in CPJE,· however, the predictive validity ofCBSE mean scores for students I pe1jormance in PC was lower.Conclusion:he students' mean score in CBS£ can be a good denominator for their further admission. We recommend further research to assess the predictive validity for each one of the basic courses.
