BACKGROUND
This study examined the factors that influenced African American women to select medicine as a career and their satisfaction with their career choice.
METHODS
Of 132 African American female physicians in South Carolina, 62 responded to a survey of open-ended questions about why they chose medicine, what they liked and disliked about their career, and who influenced their decision to become a physician.
RESULTS
The majority chose medicine for altruistic reasons and found that medicine provided challenge and the opportunity to make a positive difference. Family members, teachers, and physicians served as the common external influences in their decision to become a physician. Managed care, paper work, and time demands constituted the most disliked aspects of medicine.
CONCLUSION
Altruistic reasons and/or an interest in science motivated most of these African American female physicians to study medicine. Family members most often were their principal role models.
背景
本研究调查了影响非裔美国女性选择医学作为职业的因素以及她们对职业选择的满意度。
方法
在南卡罗来纳州的132名非裔美国女医生中，62人回应了一项关于她们为何选择医学、对职业的喜欢与不喜欢之处以及谁影响她们成为医生的决定的开放式问题调查。
结果
大多数人出于利他主义原因选择医学，并发现医学带来挑战以及做出积极改变的机会。家庭成员、教师和医生是她们决定成为医生的常见外部影响因素。管理式医疗、文书工作和时间要求是医学中最不受欢迎的方面。
结论
利他主义原因和/或对科学的兴趣促使这些非裔美国女医生中的大多数人学习医学。家庭成员最常是她们的主要榜样。
