The St Andrews MD (1935-1972).

The St Andrews MD, 1935--1972, has been investigated. The number of awards has declined and the porportion of doctors proceeding to MD has also declined. The average time between the award of the MD ChB degree and the MD degree was 11 years. About one third of the awards were at the Honours or Commendation grade. Only two doctors gained Honours in both the MB ChB and the MD. A smaller proportion of women gianed an MD degree, but of those that did a similar proportion received Honours or Commendation as in the male group. Laboratory-based studies are more likely to attract the higher grades of award compared with clinically based studies. Subsequent achievement areas show almost half the graduates to be in clinical or laboratory hospital work, 15% in administrative posts, 27% in academic posts but only 5% in general practice. Even less are in industry or the services.

The selection of students for medical education: select bibliography, 1970-75.

The problems of student selection are constantly in the mind of medical school administrators and medical teachers. When reviewing current policies there is clearly a need to study the recent journal literature, but the term 'student selection' is not a subject heading in Index Medicus; consequently no convenient listing of journal articles on this important topic is readily available. To assist administrators and medical teachers a bibliography has now been prepared. The references are taken from Index Medicus 1970-75 and presented here in a quick-reference alphabetical format. To the list has been added World Health Organization publication EURO 6203 which is considered an important document on the subject. The bibliogrraphy therefore provides a concise reference to the recent literature on student selection for medical education.
