title: Validity of students' ratings of clinical instructors.
abstract: The validity of students' rating of clinical instruction was correlated with students' performance in a clinical examination. One-way analysis of variance showed that the students' ratings discriminated among instructors, and that the instructors were a significant source of variance in their students' adjusted examination scores on a written clinical simulation. There was no significant correlation between students' performance in the examinations and their ratings of the clinical instructors.
