Fifteen years on.
Sixty students who graduated from the University of Queensland in 1958 were traced 15 years later. Sixty per cent were in private practice and 40% were in full-time salaried jobs. Those who ultimately became physicians had the best average course performance. After specialization, there appeared to be a tendency for the less academically able students to take on full-time salaried jobs rather than to enter private practice. Seventy per cent of women were still in substantially full-time practice.
