Relationship of Cognitive and Noncognitive Factors of Prematriculation and Undergraduate Medical Education and Medical Student Specialty/residency Selection

Abstract

dc:description

The selection of medical specialty/residency programs by medical students is both an important and critical decision, since the choice defines typically a life long career path for each student, and in part, the medical services delivered to society. The current investigation attempted to identify some of the cognitive and noncognitive factors that occur before and during undergraduate medical education and that appear to account for, in part, the selection of a medical specialty.
