Predicting Success in a Physician-Extender Training Program

Objective psychological measurements and personal historical data were taken on 67 physician extenders in 5 consecutive classes at a Southeastern university over 18 mo., October 1972 to April 1974. A multiple regression analysis was done between these variables and grades in didactic, clinical, and interpersonal skill evaluations, which were averaged to calculate a cumulative grade point average (AGPA). Nine of the independent variables accounted for 47% of the variations observed in the AGPA. The significant variables are consistent with common sense expectations and have provided the basis for further study. The relationship between personality and program success has proved useful in considering candidates for admissions and in counseling students already matriculated
