Elam, Carol L.; And Others
Academic Medicine, v72 n2 p140-43 Feb 1997
Study of 193 University of Kentucky medical school alumni investigated whether those entering by early decision (ED) would demonstrate geographic preferences in choice of undergraduate institutions, in-state residency sites, and practice locations similar to demonstrated preferences for medical school. ED graduates were significantly more likely to have completed undergraduate study at the university, somewhat more likely to remain in-state. (Author/MSE)
