A study of the career decisions of all students in a single matriculation cohort was undertaken in 1965 at the University of British Columbia. Studied were 64 premedical students, 112 ex-premedical students and 87 science students who had completed at least their second year. It was found by means of a questionnaire that medicine remained the career of high prestige for the three groups of students. In general the values and needs of the ex-premedical student were more similar to those of the science student than the premedical student. The loyalists to medicine were found to be more committed, self-assured, and orientated towards people and service. In addition, the premedical student was more concerned about his academic achievement but was also more confident of his progress. He emerged at the end of his training as the committed student who had chosen medicine at an early age and had remained loyal to his chosen career goal.
1965年，英属哥伦比亚大学对一个入学班级的所有学生的职业决策进行了研究。研究对象包括64名医学预科学生、112名曾经的医学预科学生以及87名至少已完成大二学业的理科学生。通过问卷调查发现，医学在这三组学生中仍是备受尊崇的职业。总体而言，曾经的医学预科学生的价值观和需求与理科学生更为相似，而非医学预科学生。研究发现，对医学忠贞不渝的学生更坚定、自信，且更倾向于与人打交道和从事服务工作。此外，医学预科学生更关注学业成绩，但对自身进步也更有信心。在培训结束时，他成为了一名坚定的学生，自幼便选择了医学，并一直忠于自己选择的职业目标。
