This study compares perception about the characteristics of obstetrics-gynecology (OG) of medical students who choose to pursue a residency in OG and those students who choose to enter another specialty.
Fourth-year medical students were asked to complete a survey addressing their perceptions about OG. Responses were compared of (1) those entering OG to those entering other specialties, (2) those entering OG to those who seriously considered entering OG but chose another discipline, and (3) males to females. Chi-square tests were used for the comparisons.
Of the 267 eligible students, 137 (51.1%) completed the survey. Clerkship satisfaction was rated as high by 88.9% of students choosing OG vs 10.2% (P<.0005) of those who chose another discipline. The emerging predominance of female providers detracted 38.5% of males vs 10.2% of females (P<.0005).
Student perception of an OG clerkship may detract them from pursuing OG as a career.
本研究比较了选择妇产科住院医师培训的医学生与选择进入其他专科的医学生对妇产科（OG）特征的看法。
四年级医学生被要求完成一项关于他们对妇产科看法的调查。对以下几组的回答进行了比较：（1）选择妇产科的学生与选择其他专科的学生；（2）选择妇产科的学生与那些认真考虑进入妇产科但选择了其他学科的学生；（3）男性与女性。采用卡方检验进行比较。
在267名符合条件的学生中，137名（51.1%）完成了调查。选择妇产科的学生中有88.9%对实习的满意度较高，而选择其他学科的学生中这一比例为10.2%（P<0.0005）。女性从业者的逐渐增多使38.5%的男性望而却步，而女性的这一比例为10.2%（P<0.0005）。
学生对妇产科实习的看法可能会使他们不愿将妇产科作为职业。
