title: 1,000 Cambridge clinical students: a 15-year survey of a new medical school's graduates.
abstract: 1,252 former students from the Cambridge Clinical School have been followed up by questionnaire. These doctors, now aged 25-40 years, represent 15 years of entry into a graduate medical school. This survey documents their experiences and views of the course, as well as the outcomes and their subsequent careers. There is a contrast between former students largely content with their medical school, and doctors divided about their postgraduate experience--whilst still enthusiastic about medicine.
