However, there were no significant differences between the responding and nonresponding schools regarding the percentages of VMS programs listed in the AAMC's "Extramural Electives Compendium" Web site, 2007 medical student enrollments, or 2007 US News & World Report rankings, thereby adding validity to the results.
Additionally, the characteristics of responding medical schools and nonresponding schools were compared according to 3 characteristics: 1) listing of a VMS program in the AAMC's "Extramural Electives Compendium" Web site [ 9]; 2007007 medical student enrollments [ 13]; and 3) 2007 US News & World Report rankings of medical schools [ 14].
Notably, there were no significant differences between responding schools and nonresponding schools regarding the percentage that had their VMS program listed in the AAMC's "Extramural Electives Compendium" Web site (P =.51), 2007 medical student enrollments (P =.37), or 2007 US News & World Report rankings (P =.14).
