摘要

拥有社区学院（CC）背景的美国医学院申请者，即使考虑到之前的学术成就，被录取的可能性也会降低。虽然这种偏见可能是多因素的，但对这些学生完成医学院学业和毕业能力的关注可能是一个组成部分。我们通过比较在医学博士授予机构中有和没有CC背景的医学生的流失率和毕业率来探讨这一观点。我们的分析显示，使用多元回归计算学生特征没有差异。总的来说，我们的研究结果表明，在录取具有CC背景的学生时，不应该考虑人员流失。

Medical School Attrition: Does Community College Background Matter?

US medical school applicants with a community college (CC) background face a decreased likelihood of acceptance, even considering prior academic achievement. While this bias is likely multifactorial, concern for these students' ability to complete medical school and graduate may be a component. We explored this idea by comparing rates of attrition vs. graduation in medical students with and without a CC background at MD-granting institutions. Our analysis showed no difference using multivariate regression accounting for student characteristics. Overall, our findings demonstrate that concern for attrition should not be a factor in admitting students with a CC background.

期刊介绍： Medical Science Educator is the successor of the journal JIAMSE. It is the peer-reviewed publication of the International Association of Medical Science Educators (IAMSE). The Journal offers all who teach in healthcare the most current information to succeed in their task by publishing scholarly activities, opinions, and resources in medical science education. Published articles focus on teaching the sciences fundamental to modern medicine and health, and include basic science education, clinical teaching, and the use of modern education technologies. The Journal provides the readership a better understanding of teaching and learning techniques in order to advance medical science education.
