BACKGROUND
This study descriptively analyzes characteristics of general surgery residency and practice and their influence on student interest in surgical careers.
METHODS
Fourth-year medical students were invited to complete an Internet-based survey. A 5-point Likert scale described characteristics of general surgery residency and practice influencing medical student specialty selection. The same characteristics of nonsurgical careers were evaluated for students entering other specialties.
RESULTS
A convenience sample of 408 students from 16 medical schools completed the survey. All respondents viewed lifestyles of surgical residents and attending surgeons as negative influences on specialty selection. Workload during surgical residency negatively influenced all respondents' interest in a surgical career. Role model identification and perceived personality fit were important in selection of all specialties.
CONCLUSIONS
Medical students who choose surgical careers are not deterred by a negative perception of lifestyle and workload considerations. Mentoring and personality fit are central in medical student specialty selection.
背景
本研究对普通外科住院医师培训及实践的特点及其对外科职业学生兴趣的影响进行描述性分析。
方法
邀请四年级医学生完成一项基于互联网的调查。采用5点李克特量表描述影响医学生专业选择的普通外科住院医师培训及实践的特点。对进入其他专业的学生评估非外科职业的相同特点。
结果
来自16所医学院的408名学生组成的便利样本完成了调查。所有受访者均认为外科住院医师和主治外科医生的生活方式对外科专业选择有负面影响。外科住院医师培训期间的工作量对所有受访者从事外科职业的兴趣有负面影响。榜样认同和感知到的性格契合度在所有专业的选择中都很重要。
结论
选择外科职业的医学生不会因对生活方式和工作量的负面看法而退缩。指导和性格契合度在医学生专业选择中至关重要。
