Declining Class Size and the Decline in Graduates Choosing Family Medicine.

Fahey, Patrick J.; And Others

Academic Medicine, v67 n10 p680-84 Oct 1992

Data from 1981-90 graduating classes at the 81 medical schools graduating the most family physicians confirmed that declining class size correlates with even greater decline in production of family physicians. Percentage changes in number of graduates and family practice graduates are tabulated for the 31 schools with largest enrollment declines. (Author/MSE)
