[Student enrollment in Canadian medical schools, 1976-77].
The 1976-77 statistical study of medical school enrollment by the Association of Canadian Medical Colleges shows that total enrollment in Canadian medical schools had increased 103.8% since 1960-61, although the rate of increase had decreased to almost zero by 1976-77. Women accounted for 30.3% of the total enrollment in 1976-77 (for all years of the course), which represents an increase of more than 550% in the 17-year period; for the 16 schools the proportion ranged between 23.9% and 43.8%. Enrollment of foreign students had decreased from 340 in 1966-67 to 90 (1.2%) in 1976-77; 71 of the 90 students were American. For the entire nation the mean number of medical students per 10 000 population was 3.1, but in British Columbia the figure was only 1.5. Of the Canadian and landed immigrant students 94.5% were attending medical school in their home province.
