Use of sociometric peer nominations in medical education research

Abstract

A peer nomination scale involving 11 variables, developed to evaluate medical student effectiveness was administered to 87 senior-class students. Overall nomination reliability was .89, correlation between peer nominations and instructor evaluations was .44, and correlations between nominations and course grades were all positive and, in most instances, significantly different from zero.
