Note: IMP-RMC = Island Medical Program regional medical campus, MD = medical degree, NMP-RMC = Northern Medical Campus regional medical program, SD = standard deviation, UBC = University of British Columbia. The percentages in this table are column percentages.
↵* Column percentages were calculated using the number of students who entered into UBC MD training as the denominator.
↵† Data were missing for 35 students (27 from main campus, 4 from IMP-RMC and 4 from NMP-RMC).
↵‡ A χ2 test was performed to determine whether practice specialty was associated with campus location. Campus location was significantly associated with specialty choice, χ2 (2, 888) = 22.89, p < 0.05.
↵§ Column percentages were calculated using the number of students who entered into residency training as the denominator·
↵¶ Column percentages were calculated using the number of students practising family medicine as the denominator.
