Barondess, Jeremiah A.; Glaser, Robert J.

Academic Medicine, v68 n5 p323-28 May 1993

Interviews with college students who had either applied to medical school (n=500), were qualified for admission but did not apply (n=277), or were typical undergraduates (n=1003) not applying to medical school found that expected job satisfaction was an extremely important career choice factor. Views of 93 premedical advisors on characteristics of promising applicants were also evaluated. (Author/MSE)
