Female medical students tend to prefer person-oriented specialties characterized by close doctor-patient contact and aspects of care. Conversely, male medical students tend to seek towards specialties with elements of autonomy, technology and "action" . Furthermore, female doctors will outnumber male doctors in Denmark by 2017 and this may have implications for the availability of specialized doctors.
Data derives from a baseline questionnaire pertaining to a Danish follow-up study. A total of 561 first year medical students enrolled in 2006 and 2007 answered the questionnaire. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to calculate odds ratio estimates of the relationship between gender and specialty preference. Variables measuring self-image were included in the analysis as potential mediators.
47% female and 19% male students pursued personoriented specialties and 46% female and 68% male students pursued technique-oriented specialties. More female students pursued technique-oriented specialties than in 1992. Female students have 69% less probability of choosing a technique-oriented specialty than males. This association is mediated by lack of self-confidence.
If specialty preferences are persistent during medical school, the results suggest that we will face more difficulties recruiting males to person-oriented specialties than females to technique-oriented specialties in the future. Furthermore, when addressing students' specialty preferences, we should consider both self confidence and gender.

女医学生往往更喜欢以医患密切接触和关怀为特点的以人为本的专业。相反，男医学生则倾向于选择具有自主性、技术和“行动”元素的专业。此外，到2017年丹麦女医生的数量将超过男医生，这可能会对专科医生的供应产生影响。
数据来自丹麦一项随访研究的基线调查问卷。共有561名在2006年和2007年入学的一年级医学生回答了问卷。采用二元逻辑回归分析来计算性别与专业偏好之间关系的比值比估计值。分析中纳入了测量自我形象的变量作为潜在的中介因素。
47%的女生和19%的男生选择以人为本的专业，46%的女生和68%的男生选择以技术为导向的专业。与1992年相比，更多的女生选择了以技术为导向的专业。女生选择以技术为导向专业的可能性比男生低69%。这种关联是由缺乏自信介导的。
如果在医学院期间专业偏好持续存在，结果表明未来在吸引男性从事以人为本的专业方面，我们将面临比吸引女性从事以技术为导向的专业更多的困难。此外，在探讨学生的专业偏好时，我们应该同时考虑自信和性别因素。
