Attracting ethnic minority and disadvantaged students to health careers and facilitating their successful completion of training program requirements have been major activities of the University of Colorado Medical Center since 1969. As a result of extensive college campus recruitment efforts, high school and college level preprofessional programs, and the participation of ethnic minority faculty members in the medical school admissions process, the number of applicants to the medical school increased from 45 in 1971 to 265 in 1977. Concurrently, medical school matriculants increased from 12 in 1971 to 24 in 1977, with a maximum of 30 in 1975. However, significantly fewer minority students have shown interest in nursing, dentistry, or allied health professions careers. Because of support programs for matriculants (including preadmission and postadmissions personal, academic, study skills, and test-taking counseling and a prefreshman year summer orientation course), 71 percent of the minority students entering medical school in 1971-73 have received the M.D. degree.
