High-quality surgical faculty teaching significantly impacts medical student performance on key assessments. This includes the National Board of Medical Examiners surgery exam and Objective Structured Clinical Examination.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Training
  • Student Assessment

Background:

  • Investigated the link between faculty teaching quality and student outcomes in a third-year surgery clerkship.
  • Assessed the influence of preceptor evaluations on medical student performance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine if the quality of surgical faculty teaching affects student performance.
  • To analyze the relationship between teaching evaluations and standardized test scores.

Main Methods:

  • Collected preceptor evaluation forms from 89 third-year medical students.
  • Analyzed associations between faculty teaching scores and student performance on the NBME surgery subject examination and OSCE.
  • Controlled for prior academic achievement using USMLE Part I scores.

Main Results:

  • A significant association was found between average faculty teaching scores and NBME surgery subject examination scores (P = 0.0005).
  • Students whose faculty preceptors received lower teaching evaluations performed worse on OSCE data-gathering stations.
  • Faculty teaching quality appears to correlate with student performance in clinical skills assessments.

Conclusions:

  • The quality of surgical faculty teaching demonstrably influences student performance.
  • Effective teaching in surgery clerkships is crucial for student success on examinations and clinical evaluations.
  • Improving faculty teaching quality may enhance student learning outcomes in surgical education.
