The Ohio State University College of Medicine

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Curriculum Development
  • Higher Education

Background:

  • The Ohio State University College of Medicine has provided an independent study program (ISP) since 1970.
  • A traditional lecture-discussion program (LDP) is also available for comparison.
  • This study evaluates the long-term outcomes of students from both programs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare independent study program (ISP) students with traditional lecture-discussion program (LDP) students.
  • To analyze demographic, academic, clinical, research, and career outcomes.
  • To assess the benefits and costs of a two-track medical school curriculum.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of 10 entering classes of medical students.
  • Comparison of entering characteristics, in-school performance, and post-graduation outcomes.

  • Comparative cost analysis of operational expenses for both programs.

    • Main Results:

    • Students from both programs showed more similarities than differences.
    • Independent study program (ISP) students demonstrated enhanced individual talents and research involvement.
    • Operational costs were equivalent, with program benefits outweighing additional expenses.

    Conclusions:

    • The flexibility of an independent study program offers unique opportunities without compromising academic achievement.
    • Independent study students are more likely to pursue research and hold academic positions post-graduation.
    • A two-track curriculum system at Ohio State University College of Medicine provides significant benefits.
