No place like home for MUN graduates

Canadian Medical Association Journal 1996; 155: 967

MUNMED, the newsletter for Memorial University's Faculty of Medicine, is tracking the careers of Memorial graduates. A report in the July issue notes that 86 physicians -- 42% of Memorial medical students from Newfoundland who graduated between 1976 and 1979 -- have spent their entire careers in the province; 65%, or 106 physicians, had practised for at least a year in the province. The four classes included 164 Newfoundlanders. An earlier issue of MUNMED said that more than half of Newfoundlanders who graduated from 1973 to 1975 had stayed in the province, with 56% serving in rural areas.
