Booker, John M.; McPhail, Jasper L.

Journal of Medical Education, v54 n8 p651-52 Aug 1979

Data from the Association of American Medical Colleges are analyzed for trends over the last decade, and prospects for the near future are considered. Indications are that participation has been low and will continue to lag unless steps are taken. (JMD)
