This study aimed to investigate the academic performance of medical students and related factors using cohort database collected from a medical school. The study participants included 134 medical students who graduated from Chonnam National University Medical School in 2022. The medical school’s cohort database was used to collect data on demographics, admission, academic performance, extracurricular activities, and performance on the National Korean Medical Licensing Examination (KMLE) . Participating in club activities had a significant association with medical students’ academic advancement delay or leave of absence during the entire course of medical school (P = 0.007) . Logistic regression analysis indicated that the nationwide clinical knowledge mock examination during the fourth year of medical school was significantly associated with passing the KMLE (adjusted odds ratio 1. 12, 95% confidence interval 1.02–1.22; P = 0.014) . Extracurricular school activities (a non-cognitive student attribute) and a wide range of cognitive student attributes captured from the cohort database were associated with medical students’ academic performance. In conclusion, this study can reinforce a strong emphasis on the inclusion of cognitive and non-cognitive information in medical school curricula and assessments in order to improve medical education programs and future postgraduate performance.  \nIntroduction  \nThe goal of medical education is to produce competent physicians with cognitive and critical thinking skills as well as interpersonal skills in response to scientific advances and societal  \nPLOS ONE | [https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0296682](https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0296682) February 9, 2024 1 / 11  \nneeds [ 1, 2].
