Gordon, Travis L.

Journal of Medical Education, v54 n9 p677-702 Sep 1979

A 1977-78 annual report on the first substantial decline in applicants to U.S. medical schools during the past quarter century is described. Comparisons are made with activity in 1974-75--the peak year for medical school applicants--to measure the impact on individual medical schools, geographical regions, and applicant subpopulations.
