 | | The researchers found students who chose family practice tended to be older (average age of 26 compared with 23.7), more social, more concerned with hours of practice, and lived in smaller communities when they graduated from high school. |
 | | These factors could help medical schools to choose students suited to be family doctors, said Dr. Robert Woollard, head of family practice at the University of British Columbia. |
 | | The class of 2002 at UBC had the highest proportion of students who chose family practice, 30 per cent, compared to their colleagues at the University of Alberta, who had the lowest, at 13.7 per cent. |
