Factors associated with success in medical school: systematic review of the literature

Abstract

Previous academic performance is a good, but not perfect, predictor of achievement in medical training It accounts for 23% of the variance in performance in undergraduate medical training and 6% of that in postgraduate competency Long term prospective cohort studies or case-control studies are needed to examine predictors of success after qualification, and reliable, valid, and fair models of medical job competence need to be developed Relatively little research has been done into the importance of learning styles, interviews, ethnicity, sex, personal statements, and references, but a strategic learning style, white ethnicity, and female sex are associated with success in medical training
