More than 30% of Norwegian physicians have graduated from medical schools outside Norway, and the number of Norwegian students that attend medical schools abroad is increasing, particularly in Hungary, Poland and the Czech republic. It is of interest to know more about these future Norwegian doctors: where they come from, and how they cope with studying abroad.
A postal survey was carried out among all 1,198 Norwegian medical students that were in the files of the State Education Loan Fund by August 1998. There were 756 responses (63%). The questions covered reasons for going abroad, academic and non-academic outcome, satisfaction, specialty and job preferences, possible motives for career choices, personality traits, smoking status and alcohol use. Comparable data were available from previous studies of medical students in Norway.
The social background of students abroad is similar to that of students at home, and their high school grade level is only slightly below. The main reasons for studying abroad is that they were not admitted at a Norwegian university and have a strong wish of becoming a doctor. Language, financial situation, and a number of pragmatic reasons determine which country to go to, choice of university is often incidental. Students abroad spend more time on their studies than students at home do. They are generally satisfied with the academic quality, but satisfaction with how the study is organised is lower in Central and Eastern-European countries.
Norwegians who are highly motivated but excluded from Norwegian universities increasingly attend medical schools abroad and are by and large satisfied with the quality of the curriculum.
超过30%的挪威医生毕业于挪威以外的医学院校，并且在国外医学院校就读的挪威学生数量正在增加，尤其是在匈牙利、波兰和捷克共和国。进一步了解这些未来的挪威医生很有意义：他们来自哪里，以及他们如何应对在国外学习。
对截至1998年8月国家教育贷款基金档案中的所有1198名挪威医学生进行了邮寄调查。共收到756份回复（63%）。问题涵盖出国原因、学业和非学业成果、满意度、专业和工作偏好、职业选择的可能动机、性格特征、吸烟状况和饮酒情况。挪威医学生以前的研究可提供可比数据。
在国外学习的学生的社会背景与国内学生相似，他们的高中成绩水平仅略低于国内学生。出国学习的主要原因是他们未被挪威大学录取，并且有强烈的成为医生的愿望。语言、经济状况和一些实际原因决定了去哪个国家，大学的选择往往是偶然的。在国外学习的学生比国内学生在学习上花费的时间更多。他们总体上对学术质量感到满意，但中东欧国家对学习组织方式的满意度较低。
积极性高但被挪威大学拒之门外的挪威人越来越多地到国外医学院校就读，并且总体上对课程质量感到满意。
