Outline of Final Research Achievements	The purpose of this study is to clarify the factors that influence learning outcomes of medical students. I analyzed the data of 6th year medical students who were at Chiba University in 2012 and 2013.The number of this data was 188. The method in this study was multiple regression analysis. The independent variables were socio-economic background (length of education of parents) and social attribute (sex) of the medical students. The dependent variable was cumulative GPA(Grade Point Average). The results of this analysis clarified that the factors influencing the learning outcomes of medical students were not unchangeable variables like socio-economic background and social attribute but changeable variables like involvements of students at university.
