Purpose: For accelerated 3-year MD (3YMD) pathways to be fully adopted in medical education, a comprehensive analysis of outcome data is needed. This study includes 7 accelerated 3YMD graduating classes at NYU Grossman School of Medicine (NYUGSOM) and reports on outcomes from both medical school and internship compared to their 4-year MD (4YMD) counterparts.
Method: Outcomes across the undergraduate-graduate medical education continuum for the first 7 classes of NYUGSOM graduates (matriculated from 2013-2019) from the accelerated 3YMD (n = 136) and 4YMD pathways (n = 681) were compared. For the internship outcomes, 3YMD interns were compared with 4YMD interns who graduated from NYUGSOM and all 4YMD interns (4YMD graduates from NYUGSOM and any other medical school) at NYUGSOM residencies.
Results: Accelerated 3YMD students were approximately 5 months older at admission and had higher multiple mini-interview scores than 4YMD students. Overall, accelerated 3YMD students performed similarly to 4YMD students during medical school and internship. Significant differences included higher performance by 3YMD students on preclerkship exams and lower performance on Steps 1 and 2 (average: 5.6 and 8.3 fewer points, respectively) and the physical examination portion of the NYUGSOM Comprehensive Clinical Skills Exam. Internship data indicated comparable team assessments across all residencies, statistically significant higher performance on Step 3 when compared to all 4YMD interns, and, in internal medicine, comparable clinical reasoning between 3YMD and all 4YMD interns. When comparing 3YMD interns to all 4YMD interns in the internal medicine residency program, 3YMD interns had a statistically significantly higher performance on milestones.
Conclusions: The outcomes from 7 years of graduating accelerated 3YMD students at NYUGSOM show similar performance in medical school and early residency to 4YMD graduates. Long-term study of accelerated 3YMD students from NYUGSOM and other medical schools is needed to further validate the success of this innovative medical education pathway.

Over the last decade there has been tremendous growth in the development of accelerated MD pathways that allow medical students to graduate in three years. Developing an accelerated pathway program requires commitment from students and faculty with intensive re-thinking and altering of the curriculum to ensure adequate content to achieve competency in an accelerated timeline. A re-visioning of assessment and advising must follow and the application of AI and new technologies can be added to support teaching and learning.

Article Synopsis
- Little data exists on the outcomes of 3-year MD (3YMD) programs, prompting a study to compare their performance with 4-year MD (4YMD) students at NYU Grossman School of Medicine.
- The study analyzed outcomes of three cohorts of 3YMD students from 2016 to 2018, using surveys and performance metrics, revealing some minor differences in exam scores but overall similar performance across both programs.
- The findings indicate that, at least at this institution, 3YMD graduates perform comparably to their 4YMD counterparts in medical school and their first residency year.

The revision of the curriculum at New York University Grossman School of Medicine in 2010, with a reduction of the preclerkship curriculum to 18 months, made it possible to offer an accelerated 3-year pathway in 2013 for students who know their career path. The goals of the program include individualizing education, reducing student debt, and integrating undergraduate and graduate medical education. This accelerated 3-year doctor of medicine (3YMD) pathway is the first program of its kind in the United States to offer conditional acceptance to residency programs in all specialties through the National Resident Matching Program.
