PURPOSE
To examine the attrition rates of underrepresented minority (URM) students and non-URM students at the University of Illinois at Chicago's College of Medicine (UIC-COM).
METHOD
The study used 11 categories of information about URM and non-URM students at UIC-COM for the five academic years 1993-1997 to determine how many students withdrew and why.
RESULTS
Of 895 graduates during these five years, 166 (18.5%) were URM students. The attrition rates were 6.5% for all graduates, 16.2% for URM students, and 4.0% for non-URM students. Students who withdrew because of academic difficulties comprised 75% of URM withdrawals and 57% of non-URM withdrawals.
CONCLUSION
Many URM students need special academic attention after matriculation. Existing academic support programs should be assessed regularly to ascertain whether they may be improved to minimize attrition.
目的
研究伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校医学院（UIC-COM）中未被充分代表的少数族裔（URM）学生和非URM学生的流失率。
方法
该研究使用了1993年至1997年五个学年里UIC-COM的URM和非URM学生的11类信息，以确定有多少学生退学以及退学原因。
结果
在这五年的895名毕业生中，166名（18.5%）是URM学生。所有毕业生的流失率为6.5%，URM学生为16.2%，非URM学生为4.0%。因学业困难而退学的学生占URM退学学生的75%，非URM退学学生的57%。
结论
许多URM学生入学后需要特殊的学业关注。应定期评估现有的学业支持项目，以确定是否可以改进这些项目以尽量减少流失率。
