In many developed countries tuning supply and demand of medical doctors is a continuous challenge to meet the ever changing needs of community and individual patients. The long study period for medical doctors creates the opportunity to observe the current career preferences of medical students and evolution in time.
To investigate the career choices of Polish students in different stages of their medical education.
Medical students at five Polish medical universities were questioned about their career aspirations in the first, third and sixth year.
A total of 2020 students were recruited for the survey. Among first year students 17% preferred family medicine as final career option, compared to 20% in the third year, and 30% in the sixth year (significant trend, P < 0.0001). In particular, female students prefer family medicine: 71% women versus 62% women in the group with a preference for a non-family medicine orientation (P = 0.008). Medical students rejecting a career as a family doctor stated that the impossibility to work in a hospital environment was the determining factor.
The opportunity for professional development seems to be an important determining factor in the choice of a medical specialty in Poland. The proportion of Polish students choosing family medicine increases during their progress in medical education, with one third of students interested in a career in family medicine by year six.
在许多发达国家，调整医生的供需是一项持续的挑战，以满足社区和个体患者不断变化的需求。医生的学习周期较长，这为观察医学生当前的职业偏好及其随时间的演变创造了机会。
调查波兰医学生在医学教育不同阶段的职业选择。
对波兰五所医科大学的医学生在第一年、第三年和第六年时的职业抱负进行了询问。
共有2020名学生参与了此次调查。一年级学生中，17%的人将家庭医学作为最终职业选择，三年级学生中这一比例为20%，六年级学生中为30%（呈显著趋势，P < 0.0001）。特别是，女生更倾向于家庭医学：71%的女生选择家庭医学，而在倾向于非家庭医学方向的群体中这一比例为62%（P = 0.008）。拒绝从事家庭医生职业的医学生表示，无法在医院环境中工作是决定性因素。
在波兰，职业发展机会似乎是选择医学专业的一个重要决定性因素。随着医学教育的推进，选择家庭医学的波兰学生比例有所增加，到第六年时，有三分之一的学生对家庭医学职业感兴趣。
