To explore medical students' potential interest in family medicine in the future and their perceptions of a GP's work.
A cross-sectional survey in 2008-2010.
Fifth-year medical students prior to their main course in General Practice at the University of Helsinki.
The students' opinions regarding the GP's work and their perceptions of the main aims of a GP's work.
309/359 medical students (mean age 25.7 years, 64% females) responded to the survey. Among the students, 76% considered the most attractive feature in the GP's work to be that it is versatile and challenging. The least attractive features included: too hasty, pressing work, too lonely work, and too many non-medical problems. The majority of the students considered the main aim of a GP's work as to identify serious diseases/disorders in order to refer those patients for specialized care (82%). Treatment of chronic diseases is an important responsibility of a GP's work according to 63% of the students. Only 38% considered health promotion to be an important aim.
Medical students may have perceptions of the GP's work that influence their career choices to specialize in other fields.

2008-2010 年的横断面调查。
在赫尔辛基大学进行全科医学主要课程之前的五年级医学生。
学生对全科医生工作的看法，以及他们对全科医生工作主要目的的看法。
359 名医学生中有 309 名（平均年龄 25.7 岁，64%为女性）对调查做出了回应。在这些学生中，76%的人认为全科医生工作最吸引人的地方在于它具有多样性和挑战性。最不吸引人的方面包括：工作过于匆忙、压力大、工作过于孤独和有太多非医疗问题。大多数学生认为全科医生工作的主要目的是发现严重疾病/障碍，以便将这些患者转介到专门的护理机构（82%）。63%的学生认为治疗慢性病是全科医生工作的重要职责。只有 38%的学生认为促进健康是一个重要目标。
医学生对全科医生工作的看法可能会影响他们选择其他领域专业的职业选择。
