Projections of graduates from Canadian medical schools, 1970-81.

This paper sets forth the projections made by the various Canadian medical schools of first-year undergraduate enrolment through 1977-78. Non-Canadian enrolment and student attrition are discussed and some assumptions are made concerning their levels up to 1981. In conclusion, a set of projections on Canadian and landed immigrant graduates from Canadian medical schools during the period 1970-1981 is offered. The national projections are broken down by medical school and province.The results of this paper indicate that Canadian medical schools will graduate 1019 Canadians and landed immigrants in 1970, 1052 in 1971, 1064 in 1972, 1113 in 1973, 1250 in 1974, 1342 in 1975, 1377 in 1976 and 1480 in 1981.
