加拿大各地的医学院都在从大量合格的申请者中挑选学生。大多数学校都进行非认知评估，以确保医学生在医学实践中具有重要的个人特征。我们回顾了多伦多大学学术和非学术入学评估预测内科和家庭医学住院医师课程排名的能力。研究样本包括1994年至1998年（含）期间进入多伦多大学的学生，然后通过加拿大居民匹配计划申请多伦多大学的家庭或内科职位，毕业那年评估了入学变量在预测医学院表现和住院医师排名方面的价值。内科排名与本科平均成绩（GPA）和入学非认知评估显著相关。它还与2年的客观结构化临床考试（OSCE）分数，内科实习成绩和医学院的最终成绩相关。家庭医学的排名与入学面试分数相关。它还与第二年的欧安组织分数，见习等级在家庭医学，见习病房评价在内科和最后的等级在医school.Results的研究表明，认知以及非认知因素在医学院入学评估是重要的，在预测未来的成功医学。非认知评估为标准学术标准提供了额外的价值，用于预测2个住院医生项目的排名，并证明其作为招生过程的一部分。
Medical schools across Canada expend great effort in selecting students from a large pool of qualified applicants. Non-cognitive assessments are conducted by most schools in an effort to ensure that medical students have the personal characteristics of importance in the practice of Medicine. We reviewed the ability of University of Toronto academic and non-academic admission assessments to predict ranking by Internal Medicine and Family Medicine residency programmes.The study sample consisted of students who had entered the University of Toronto between 1994 and 1998 inclusive, and had then applied through the Canadian resident matching programme to positions in Family or Internal Medicine at the University of Toronto in their graduating year. The value of admissions variables in predicting medical school performance and residency ranking was assessed.Ranking in Internal Medicine correlated significantly with undergraduate grade point average (GPA) and the admissions non-cognitive assessment. It also correlated with 2-year objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) score, clerkship grade in Internal Medicine, and final grade in medical school. Ranking in Family Medicine correlated with the admissions interview score. It also correlated with 2nd-year OSCE score, clerkship grade in Family Medicine, clerkship ward evaluation in Internal Medicine and final grade in medical school.The results of this study suggest that cognitive as well as non-cognitive factors evaluated during medical school admission are important in predicting future success in Medicine. The non-cognitive assessment provides additional value to standard academic criteria in predicting ranking by 2 residency programmes, and justifies its use as part of the admissions process.
