背景本研究考察了机构学士后项目的长期有效性，该项目旨在为来自弱势背景的学生提供进入医学领域的机会，以满足多样性需求。方法对学士后参与者的学术成果、表现、进步和专业选择进行 18 年回顾性分析。使用卡方检验、t 检验和方差分析进行队列间的比较。结果百分之九十四 (94%) 的学士学位后学生成功完成该课程并被医学院录取。百分之六十四 (64%) 的预科生已从医学院毕业，26% 仍在就读。超过 50% 的毕业生选择了初级保健专业领域。结论 学士后项目的实施提供了一个成功的策略，使医学院学生群体多样化，并遵循医学院的使命驱动承诺，增加医学界弱势背景的医生数量。
BackgroundThis study examines the long-term effectiveness of an institutional postbaccalaureate program designed to provide an opportunity for students from disadvantaged backgrounds to enter medicine in response to diversity needs.MethodAn 18-year retrospective analysis of the academic outcomes, performance, progress, and specialty choices of postbaccalaureate participants. Comparisons across cohorts were conducted using chi-square tests, t tests, and ANOVA.ResultsNinety-four percent (94%) of the postbaccalaureate students successfully completed the program and matriculated into medical school. Sixty-four percent (64%) of the matriculants have graduated from medical school, and 26% are still enrolled. More than 50% of the graduates selected primary care specialty fields.ConclusionsThe implementation of the postbaccalaureate program provided a successful strategy to diversify the medical school student body and increase the number of physicians from disadvantaged backgrounds in the medical profession following the mission-driven commitment of the medical school.
