The Grade Point Average (GPA) as a measure of student performance in implementing the curriculum is expected to be correlated with the UKMPPD results to produce competent doctors with national standards. However, this is not in line with some who do not pass the UKMPPD at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Palangka Raya. This problem raises the question, can a medical student’s GPA ensure a fresh graduate doctor’s competency to pass UKMPPD? The research design was descriptive-analytic, with a cross-sectional design consisting of 132 students participating in UKMPPD as the first participants from May 2016 to November 2019. The data obtained were the results of preclinical and clinical GPA and UKMPPD. Data analysis using Pearson correlation test and Mann Whitney test. Statistical analysis showed that there was a significant relationship (p <0.001) between the preclinic GPA and the results of CBT (r = 0.642), OSCE (r = 0.329), and UKMPPD. Clinic GPA showed significant correlation (p <0.001) with CBT (r = 0.429), and UKMPD results (p = 0.001), but had no significant correlation (p = 0.167) with OSCE. These results indicate that the GPA of Preclinic and Clinic scores can be used as an indicator of learning outcomes to determine cognitive test results.
