Title
Career Contingencies of English-Montreal Physicians
Abstract
The author examined statistically whether a marked ethnic/religious and class system existed within English Montreal hospitals, circa 1969, and whether a physician's birthplace and medical school training affected where he practiced in the system. His examination of numerous hospital characteristics found such a class system among the hospitals. In considering birthplace and medical school backgrounds, he found that typical career sequences and life chances of physicians were found associated with the prestige of different hospital categories. In general he found that physicians with readily assimilable birthplace/medical school backgrounds had greater representation and more chances of affiliation at the high prestige hospitals. The opposite held true for physicians with "different" backgrounds.
