| Abstract | The Faculty of Medicine, Srinakarinwirot University offers two curricular programs forDoctor of Medicine degree. The regular medical program recruits students from admission testregulated by the consortium of Thai medical school, and all the courses were taught atSrinakarinwirot University (SWU), Thailand. The Joint Medical program (SWU-UoN) recruits studentsdirectly from Thai and international high schools and the students' study three years ofbiomedical sciences at the University of Nottingham, UK and then return to SWU to completetheir medical degree. We compared the academic achievement of 5th- year students of the twoprograms for the academic year 2013, 2014 and 2015. Outcome variables were students' fiveyears cumulative grade point average (CGPA) and the National License Examination step 2(NLE step 2) scores. The NLE step 2 is a paper-based 300 multiple choice questions coveringclinical science subjects.The data from a total of 382 students were included in this study. Therewas no statistically significant difference between the regular program (N = 353) and the jointmedical program (N = 29) in terms of students' CPGA and NLE scores (3.20 versus 3.25, p = 0.53,and 184.6 versus 179.1, p = 0.15 respectively) |
