Abstract
In an attempt to identify emergent trends in the value systems of graduating medical students, questionnaires investigating sexual, religious, and political attitudes and behavior as well as students' drug use, prejudices, attitudes toward the American Medical Association, and several social issues were sent to the graduating classes of Columbia (1968) and Yale (1970). Although physicians are frequently seen as the repositories of the morals of the nation, these graduating physicians had views quite distinct from the more traditionalistic views generally ascribed to physicians.
