Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of curriculum revision on student performance in tests of the medical knowledge of students at Pusan National University. Methods: Test scores of the Basic Medicine Comprehensive Examination (BMCE), conducted by the Medical Education Assessment Corporation, and internal clinical knowledge tests of the three integrated courses of the Pusan National University School of Medicine, during the last 3 years (2015–2017) were compared with an unpaired Student t-test and the results were considered to be significant at p<0.05. Results: Curriculum revision in 2017 introduced the integration of basic and clinical courses at the organ level of medical education. Scores of BMCE and internal clinical knowledge tests in three integrated courses after curriculum revision showed a statistically significant increase after curriculum revision. Conclusion: Curriculum revisions that integrated the basic and clinical courses in organ-level education improved student’s academic performance significantly.
