Abstract
The Sounding Board article by Cooke and Sande (Nov. 9, 1989, issue)* suggested that programs in internal medicine that involve large proportions of patients with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) may be at a competitive disadvantage relative to programs in low-incidence areas. To determine the importance of various factors in the selection of residency programs and to assess views on appropriate case mix in postgraduate medical education, we performed an anonymous, voluntary survey of medical students graduating from the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia University. The survey was approved by the institutional review board and conducted after the students had submitted their rank-order lists, but before the results of the National Residency Matching Program were released.
