    Area of Science:

    • Medical Education
    • Curriculum Development

    Background:

    • Restructured undergraduate medical curriculum at McGill Medical School.
    • Introduction of a return to basic sciences in the final year of study.
    • This program follows the completion of formal undergraduate clinical education.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a unique return-to-basic-science program in medical education.
    • To evaluate the program's rationale, effects on student learning, and attitudes.
    • To assess the integration of basic sciences with clinical knowledge.

    Main Methods:

    • Educational and attitudinal variables were assessed in final-year medical students.
    • Data collection involved achievement tests, questionnaires, and interviews.
    • Student cohorts from 1978 and 1981 were included in the study.

    Main Results:

    • The program successfully facilitated deeper student learning.
    • Integration of basic sciences with clinical knowledge was achieved.
    • Students in both 1978 and 1981 enthusiastically received the program.

    Conclusions:

    • The return-to-basic-science program met its major objectives.
    • Positive student reception suggests benefits beyond a 'Hawthorne effect'.
    • This educational model is recommended for consideration by other medical faculties.
