| Abstract: | There were 2337 Canadian and Landed Immigrant applicants for the fall 1968 entering classes at Canadian medical schools. These applicants filed a total of 4579 applications.The results of this study show that there are regional differences in the quantity and quality of the applicant pool for Canadian medical schools. The study also shows that despite the fact that Canadian and landed immigrant applicants are filing more applications than they have in the past two years, there has been no appreciable change in the ratio of applicants to available places. A further point to be noted is that the participation of women both as applicants to and as medical students in the entering class of 1968-69 at Canadian medical schools was higher than in previous years. |
