    • To develop and implement a comprehensive evaluation program for medical students.
    • To assess student progress toward defined M.D.-level competence.
    • To evaluate the effectiveness of a new assessment program in internal medicine.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized an objective test for basic medical knowledge assessment.
    • Employed simulations to evaluate problem-solving and intellectual skills.
    • Conducted a clinical skills examination with standardized criteria.
    • Implemented a criterion-referenced rating scale for professional habits and attitudes.

    Main Results:

    • Presented the progress of the 1979 and 1980 graduating classes.
    • Demonstrated the application of a multi-faceted evaluation program.
    • Provided data on student achievement of predetermined mastery levels.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed evaluation program effectively measures medical student competence.
