Attitudes and performance of third- vs fourth-year neurology clerkship students.
To compare student performance, attitudes, and career plans based on whether the neurology clerkship was taken in the third or fourth year. ⋯ Our findings support the belief among academic neurologists that students who take the neurology clerkship in the third year have greater enthusiasm for the field and look more favorably on neurology as a possible career than those taking the neurology clerkship in their fourth year. Nevertheless, our findings do not support the notion that third-year placement results in superior achievement.
