A Survey on the "Premedical Syndrome."

Sade, Robert M.; And Others

Journal of Medical Education, v59 n5 p386-91 May 1984

Faculty members and students of 13 undergraduate colleges in South Carolina were surveyed to learn whether the "premedical syndrome" existed. Premedical students were perceived as being excessively competitive, academically overspecialized, overachieving, more highly motivated, more highly self-disciplined, goal-oriented, and proud of their career choice.
