There has been limited research on physicians' perceptions of the specialty characteristics that are needed to sustain a successful career in medical specialties in Korea. Medical Specialty Preference Inventory in the United States or SCI59 (specialty choice inventory) in the United Kingdom are implemented to help medical students plan their careers. The purpose of this study was to explore the characteristics of the major specialties in Korea.
Twelve physicians from different specialties participated in an exploratory study consisting of qualitative interviews about the personal ability and emotional characteristics and job attributes of each specialty. The collected data were analysed with content analysis methods.
Twelve codes were extracted for ability & skill attributes, 23 codes for emotion & attitude attributes, and 12 codes for job attributes. Each specialty shows a different profile in terms of its characteristic attributes.
The findings have implications for the design of career planning programs for medical students.
关于韩国医生对维持医学专业成功职业生涯所需专业特征的看法，相关研究有限。美国的医学专业偏好量表或英国的SCI59（专业选择量表）用于帮助医学生规划职业。本研究旨在探索韩国主要专业的特征。
12名来自不同专业的医生参与了一项探索性研究，该研究包括对各专业的个人能力、情感特征和工作属性进行定性访谈。收集的数据采用内容分析法进行分析。
提取了12个能力与技能属性编码、23个情感与态度属性编码以及12个工作属性编码。每个专业在其特征属性方面呈现出不同的概况。
研究结果对医学生职业规划项目的设计具有启示意义。
