Dr. Ludlow studies the effectiveness of accelerated medical education programs, specifically the 3-year MD program at NYU Grossman School of Medicine. He investigates how these programs influence student performance on exams and in early residency work. By comparing students who complete a 3-year program to those in a traditional 4-year curriculum, Dr. Ludlow sheds light on various outcomes such as licensing exam scores, internship performance, and overall preparedness for medical practice.

  • The 3-year graduates scored about 5-6 points lower on major licensing exams than those from the traditional program.
  • Despite slightly lower licensing exam scores, 3-year program graduates performed equally well in internships.

Plain English
This study examined how graduates from a 3-year medical program at NYU Grossman School of Medicine performed during their time in medical school and their early residency compared to those from a traditional 4-year program. The findings showed that the 3-year program students, who numbered 136, scored higher on preclerkship exams but had slightly lower scores on major licensing exams (about 5-6 points lower). However, they performed just as well as their 4-year peers in internships, and particularly excelled in some areas of their assessments. Who this helps: This research benefits medical students and educators by providing insights into the effectiveness of accelerated medical training programs.
