To describe the current status of medical education programs in the United States, we used data from the 1997-1998 Liaison Committee on Medical Education Annual Medical School Questionnaire, which had a 100% response rate, and from other sources. There were 96733 full-time medical school faculty members, a 1.2% increase from 1996-1997. The 43020 applicants for the class entering in 1997 represents an 8.4% decrease from 1996. The number of 1997 applicants who were members of underrepresented minority groups decreased 11.1 % from 1996, and the number of entering underrepresented minority group students decreased 8.4%. More than half of medical schools reported that the number of inpatients available for medical student education had decreased in at least some of their clinical sites or in some disciplines during the past 2 years. Thirty-nine medical schools (31.2%) reported having more difficulty recruiting or retaining volunteer clinical faculty to participate in medical student teaching in 1997 than in 1995.
为描述美国医学教育项目的现状，我们使用了1997 - 1998年医学教育联络委员会年度医学院调查问卷的数据（该问卷回复率为100%）以及其他来源的数据。全职医学院教员有96733名，比1996 - 1997年增加了1.2%。1997年入学班级的43020名申请者比1996年减少了8.4%。1997年属于少数族裔且未被充分代表群体的申请者数量比1996年减少了11.1%，入学的未被充分代表群体的少数族裔学生数量减少了8.4%。超过半数的医学院报告称，在过去两年中，至少在其部分临床教学点或某些学科，可供医学生教学使用的住院病人数量有所减少。39所医学院（31.2%）报告称，与1995年相比，1997年在招募或留住志愿临床教员参与医学生教学方面遇到了更多困难。
