| Abstract | The purpose of this investigation was to examine the reliability and predictive validity of the of admission data in predicting student success in completing a community college-based physician assistant program and their performance on the National Certification Examination (NCE). The files of 170 graduates were reviewed and the following data was complied: 1) science grade point average (GPAsci), 2) cumulative grade point average (GPAcum), 3) reference letter ratings, 4) personal statement ratings, and 5) work experience -- each identified as a predictor measure in this study. The criterion measures identified in the study were 1) program completion, 2) performance on the NCE, and 3) skills. Findings demonstrated variations in the degree of relationship among predictor measures and criterion measures. The GPAsci demonstrated the greatest degree of correlation with student outcome in comparison with other predictor measures, which is consistent with previous research. Overall, the research demonstrated that there was practical significance or potentially significance correlations between the majority of the predictor measures. |
