Interest in primary care careers has been dwindling among medical trainees over the past decade, with poor quality of life among the perceived disadvantages. We sought to evaluate factors influencing career satisfaction among graduates of Brown's General Internal Medicine (GIM)/Primary Care residency program and assess its contribution to the primary care work force.
Using an anonymous online survey, we queried GIM alumni from 1981-2012 to obtain information about demographics, job characteristics and career satisfaction measures.
Fifty-nine percent of Brown's GIM/Primary Care residency graduates practice primary care, a rate higher than most primary care track programs. Seventy-six percent of respondents were "satisfied" or "very satisfied" with their current jobs. Career satisfaction correlated with self-rating of physical and emotional health and did not correlate with age, gender, income, debt burden, or practice setting.
Among the diverse factors associated with attaining career satisfaction, attention to personal health plays a central role.
在过去十年中，医学实习生对初级保健职业的兴趣一直在减少，生活质量差被认为是不利因素之一。我们试图评估影响布朗大学普通内科（GIM）/初级保健住院医师项目毕业生职业满意度的因素，并评估其对初级保健劳动力的贡献。
通过匿名在线调查，我们询问了1981年至2012年的GIM校友，以获取有关人口统计学、工作特征和职业满意度指标的信息。
布朗大学GIM/初级保健住院医师项目的毕业生中有59%从事初级保健工作，这一比例高于大多数初级保健轨道项目。76%的受访者对他们目前的工作“满意”或“非常满意”。职业满意度与身体和情绪健康的自我评分相关，与年龄、性别、收入、债务负担或执业环境无关。
在与获得职业满意度相关的各种因素中，关注个人健康起着核心作用。
