  • Comprehensive matriculant support services (counseling, orientation)

    • Main Results:

    • Medical school applications increased from 45 (1971) to 265 (1977).
    • Medical school matriculants rose from 12 (1971) to 24 (1977).
    • 71% of minority medical students entering 1971-73 graduated with an M.D., indicating program success.

    Conclusions:

    • Targeted recruitment and robust support systems significantly enhance the enrollment and graduation of minority students in medical school.
    • Further strategies may be needed to attract minority students to nursing, dentistry, and allied health fields.
