Distribution of these inio Medical and Surgical. II. N'OMBER OF Students Failing to Qualify. 1. Of tbe 1,253. we find that 376, or 30 01 (say, approxi- mately 30) per cent., have not as yet registered any Qualification, and they are distributed as follows :— Of the 563 registered as Students in England, 154, or 27-35 per cent. i> I) i> Scotland, 102, or 30-09 339 350 Ireland, 120, or 34-29 III. Total Number of Students Registering a Qualification. 1. But 877, or 69 99 (say, approximately 70) per cent., have at some time appeared in the Medical Register, namely:— Of the 563 registered as Students in England, 409, or 72-65 per cent. 339 „ „ „ Scotland, 237, or 69-91 „ » 350 „ „ „ Ireland, 231, or 65-71 „ lY. Proportion op them Registering a Single Qualification only, and the Character of it. 1. Of these 877, we find that 110, or 12-54per cent. (8-78 per cent, of tha whole number of Students), registered a single Quali- fication only, that is, a Qualification which is not both medical and surgical* ; and they are distributed as follows :— Of the 409 PractUioners regd. as Studenls in England, 73, or 17-85 per cent. ,, 237 „ „ „ „ in Scotland, 16, or 6-75 „ „ 231 „ „ „ „ in Ireland, 21, or 9-09 ,, 2. Of the 110 who took a single but no proper second Quali- fication, it has been found that— 47, or 42 73 per cent, qualified at the R.C.S. Engl. 16, or 14-54 ],or 0-91 5, or 4-54 9, or 8-18 3, or 2-73 7. or 6-36 15, or 13-64 3, or 2-73 2, or 1-82 2, or 1'82 II Apoth. Soc. Lond. Univ. Camb. R.C.P. Edin. R.C.S. Edin. Fac. P. & S. Glasg. K.Q.C.P. Irel. R.C.S. Irel. Apoth. Hall, Dubl. Univ. Dubl. Q. or R. Univ. Irel. Hence it will be seen that 36 (or 32-73 per cent.) took a single medical, and 74 (or 67'27 per cent.) took a single surgical Qualifi- cation. * The Licentiateship of the Royal College of Physicians of London is, in this Report, considered as a single Qualification, but it will be easy for any reader to adapt the calculations to the view of such Qualification being regarded as a double Qualification.
