A questionnaire was completed by students entering the University of Queensland (Australia) MB BS course in 1983 and 1984 (n = 399). It contained wide-ranging questions regarding the decision to enter medicine, including how, why and when the decision was reached. Demographic data were also collected. All but two students have now completed their involvement with the course. The most important determinant of qualifying MB BS was geographical, metropolitan students doing so in greatest proportion. High levels of course performance were predicted by father's occupation, and being aware of a widely held attitude, namely that it would be a pity not to enter medicine if able to do so. Several gender differences are noted. Finally, it was noteworthy that the predictive aspects of questionnaire responses did not lessen as students progressed through the course.
一份问卷由1983年和1984年进入昆士兰大学（澳大利亚）医学学士与外科学士课程的学生填写（n = 399）。问卷包含了关于进入医学领域这一决定的广泛问题，包括该决定是如何、为何以及何时做出的。还收集了人口统计学数据。除两名学生外，其他所有学生现已完成该课程。获得医学学士与外科学士资格的最重要决定因素是地理位置，大城市的学生获得该资格的比例最高。父亲的职业以及意识到一种普遍存在的态度，即如果有能力进入医学领域却不这样做将是一种遗憾，能够预测较高的课程成绩。注意到了一些性别差异。最后，值得注意的是，随着学生在课程中不断推进，问卷回答的预测性方面并没有减弱。
