The relation between gender, personality, school scores, grades at medical school and eventual achievement as a medical practitioner 8 years after qualifying has been explored by path analysis in a cohort of medical students. Factor analysis of data derived from a questionnaire identified a significant factor accounting for 75% of the common variance of the professional achievement scores. Standardized path coefficients were computed to indicate the relative importance of the causal factors to postgraduate achievement. Gender played an important role at many levels. For example it was apparent that many of our women graduates were seriously disadvantaged in their professional careers. Of the school subjects, chemistry was a surprising long-term predictor of postgraduate achievement. Academic achievement during medical school training, particularly in the final year, was a significant predictor, while personality attributes made their contribution to one or other aspect of achievement at earlier stages in training but made little additional direct contribution to postgraduate performance.
通过对一组医学生进行路径分析，探讨了性别、个性、学校成绩、医学院成绩与毕业后8年作为执业医生的最终成就之间的关系。对问卷调查所得数据进行因子分析，确定了一个重要因子，该因子占专业成就得分共同方差的75%。计算标准化路径系数以表明因果因素对研究生成就的相对重要性。性别在多个层面发挥着重要作用。例如，很明显，我们的许多女毕业生在职业生涯中处于严重不利地位。在学校科目中，化学是研究生成就出人意料的长期预测指标。医学院培训期间的学业成绩，尤其是最后一年的成绩，是一个重要的预测指标，而个性特质在培训早期对成就的一个或其他方面有贡献，但对研究生表现几乎没有额外的直接贡献。
