    • Fifteen years post-graduation, 60% of alumni were in private practice and 40% in salaried positions.
    • Graduates who became physicians demonstrated superior average academic performance.
    • A trend indicated that less academically successful students were more likely to pursue salaried positions after specialization.

    Conclusions:

    • Academic performance appears to be a predictor of career path choices in medicine.
    • The study highlights distinct career trajectories based on academic ability among medical alumni.
    • A significant majority of women remained in full-time practice 15 years after graduation.
