- Abstract: Graduate medical students have been expected to have different characteristics and backgrounds. If it is true, our strategy to educate them should be differentiated. However, basic medical education for graduate entrants in Korea now is not much different from those for non-graduate entrants. Therefore, I investigated the differences between graduate entry and schoolleaver students. Herein, I reviewed their demographics, academic backgrounds, career choice motivation, moral reasoning ability, learning styles and strategy, academic achievement, quality of school life, and outcome after graduation. Also I tried to suggest the differentiated strategy for effective education according to curriculum, teaching and learning, assessment, student support system, and admission selection policy.
