The Association of American Medical Colleges annually gathers data on curriculum evaluation, financing, and career plans from senior medical students through a graduation questionnaire. According to the 1983 survey, a majority of the seniors perceived that an appropriate amount of time was devoted to the various areas of instruction at their institutions. The average indebtedness of the graduates was reported to be increasing, and 84.4 percent reported having medical school debts. Only 13.2 percent of the graduates indicated plans to enter a career in research, although over one-third had some research involvement while in medical school. Those who participated in research activities during medical school were somewhat more likely to plan significant research involvement after graduation than those who were not involved in research in medical school.
美国医学院协会每年通过一份毕业调查问卷收集高年级医学生关于课程评估、资金筹集和职业规划的数据。根据1983年的调查，大多数高年级学生认为他们所在院校在各个教学领域投入的时间是合适的。据报告，毕业生的平均债务在增加，84.4%的毕业生表示有医学院债务。只有13.2%的毕业生表示计划从事研究工作，尽管超过三分之一的学生在医学院期间参与过一些研究。与医学院期间未参与研究的学生相比，医学院期间参与过研究活动的学生毕业后更有可能计划大量参与研究。
