The Relationship of Indebtedness, Race, and Gender to the Choice of General or Subspecialty Pediatrics.
Brotherton, Sarah E.
Academic Medicine, v70 n2 p149-51 Feb 1995
A survey of 437 pediatricians graduating in 1981-87 found that men and whites were significantly more likely to have trained in subspecialties rather than chosen primary care practice, as were earlier graduates. Type of medical school attended and level of educational debt were not significantly related. (Author/MSE)
