A review session can raise medical student scores on the psychiatry shelf exam

“

So ... more evidence that WUSM students are great, and that we have residents who are great teachers. Honestly, I was surprised that the scores improved significantly from before to after the teaching sessions began; I would have thought that the students would need more time reading to make a difference. Then again, maybe the review sessions helped them realize areas they needed to read up on. I was glad to participate in this report. Shan Siddiqi conceived of the study, taught the review sessions, performed the statistical analysis, and drafted the manuscript. Dr. Womer is the current coursemaster for the psychiatry clerkship, a position I held previously. I provided suggestions on the analysis and edited the report.
