Abstract: A questionnaire investigation was conducted to test the relationship between the professional-attitude stability and academic performances among 1,338 medical students from three medical colleges . The results show that medical students’ professional attitude was stable on the whole and it was positively related to their academic performances. Logistic regression analysis revealed that gender and learning attitude towards medicine were significant to predict medical students’ academic record. The results from this study indicate that we should respect students' specialty choice, optimize medical curriculum arrangement and strengthen humanities quality training so as to strengthen their professional attitude stability and improve their study engagement and academic performance.
