To identify factors that could be used to predict physician specialty selection at the level of admissions to medical school.
Content analysis was performed on 161 personal statements from the American Medical College Admission Service application form. Randomly selected graduates analyzed were from the classes of 1985-1987 from a Midwestern public medical school.
Fifty percent of those who stated that they had contact with a medical specialty entered either that specialty or a closely related specialty. Of the 11 applicants who stated a goal of entering family practice, one entered family practice.
Contact with a specialty prior to entering medical school may be a significant predictor of the prospective student's eventual specialty selection. However, goals mentioned in the statements are not predictors of specialty choice.
确定可用于预测医学院入学时医生专业选择的因素。
对美国医学院入学服务申请表中的161份个人陈述进行内容分析。随机挑选的毕业生来自一所中西部公立医学院1985 - 1987届班级。
那些表示曾接触过某医学专业的人中，有50%进入了该专业或与之密切相关的专业。在11名表示目标是进入家庭医疗专业的申请者中，有1人进入了该专业。
进入医学院之前接触过某专业可能是准学生最终专业选择的一个重要预测因素。然而，陈述中提到的目标并非专业选择的预测因素。
