Abstract
Albert et al.1 examined the relationship between number of cases encountered by medical students in a 1-week outpatient component of a 4-week neurology clerkship and performance on the National Board of Medical Examiners Neurology Subject Examination and an objective standardized clinical examination (OSCE). They found a significant correlation between the number of outpatients logged and scores on the subject test and written component of the OSCE. These findings contrast with those of Poisson et al.,2 who found no correlation between number of patients logged and final clerkship performance or total written examination scores, and a negative correlation between number of patients seen in diagnostic categories and test disease category subscores.
