Abstract:

New norms on the Nelson-Denny Reading Test (Brown, Fishco, & Hanna, 1993) are presented for healthcare-professional students. Medical, dental, and physical therapy students and internal medicine interns (N = 1,122) completed either Form G or Form H of the Nelson-Denny Reading Test. Mean raw scores are compared to 9th and 12th graders and to college graduates. All healthcare groups scored higher on vocabulary, comprehension, and total reading score than did college graduates on both test forms. Standard scores, percentile ranks, and stanine scores are presented as revised norms for students in healthcare professions in the Appendices.
