title: Toward a career development model for postbaccalaureate premedical programs: from theory to practice.
abstract: The purpose of this study was to assess the career maturity of 168 minority and disadvantaged premedical students upon entry into a medical education preparatory program. All took the Medical Career Development Inventory as a pre-assessment in the course. Students' scores identified three instructional groups: on, below, and above instructional level. A model for career intervention for postbaccalaureate premedical programs is presented.
