Abstract
All applicants and those who subsequently enrolled for the 1964-65 session in the Western medical schools were studied to encourage a national registration of applicants. Seven hundred and sixty-four applicants completed 865 applications for 288 places in 4 schools. Although the principal factor in selecting medical students in all Western schools is pre-medical performance, 49 "good-quality" (academically of good standing and under 30 years of age) resident applicants were not accepted in their own provincial school, and 49 places were filled with "poor-quality" students. The loss of good applicants to the Western medical schools and the 20% overlap of each school''s applicant pool with that of other schools suggests that objective standards of quality must be developed, and that a regular annual national assessment of applicants should be conducted by the Association of Canadian Medical Colleges.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
