Research
The primary goal of the research undertaken by the Section for the MCAT
is to understand the relationships between cognitive and non-cognitive
behaviors in the premedical years and at various stages of medical school,
residency, and medical practice, for the purpose of improving the quality
of the MCAT. MCAT research studies reflect mainly non-experimental and
survey research, and include both quantitative and qualitative approaches.
