As part of a prospective survey of medical students' conditions and of the different kinds of influence they are subjected to during their study periods, we looked into the question of from which social strata the students were recruited. Two hundred and fifty-four (79%) of 323 medical students matriculated during the summer of 1992 answered a structured questionnaire forwarded to them. One hundred and thirty-one (52%) medical students were recruited from the highest social class (I), whereas only 19 (7%) were recruited from the lowest social class (V). In comparison, the underlying population in the age groups relevant for the survey is made up as follows: 7% in social class I and 20% in social class V. A comparison with earlier surveys shows that only insignificant changes in the medical students' social class profiles have taken place in spite of the introduction of better possibilities of financing medical studies irrespective of social class affiliations.
作为一项对医学生状况以及他们在学习期间所受不同影响的前瞻性调查的一部分，我们研究了医学生来自哪些社会阶层的问题。1992年夏季入学的323名医学生中有254人（79%）回答了发给他们的一份结构化问卷。131名（52%）医学生来自最高社会阶层（I），而只有19名（7%）来自最低社会阶层（V）。相比之下，该调查相关年龄组的基础人群构成如下：社会阶层I占7%，社会阶层V占20%。与早期调查相比表明，尽管引入了不论社会阶层归属提供更好医学学习资助可能性的措施，但医学生的社会阶层分布仅发生了微不足道的变化。
