The role of the medical registrar is challenging and acknowledged as being a disincentive to a career in medicine for some junior doctors. We set out to build a broader understanding of the role through exploration of Foundation Doctors' and Core Medical Trainees' perceptions of the role. Data, gathered from focus groups, were analysed using a framework approach. Six key themes were identified, which were grouped under the headings 'perceptions of the medical registrar role' and 'transition into the role'. Our work builds on existing literature to inform a deeper understanding of how junior doctors perceive the medical registrar role. In light of our findings we offer suggestions on possible training initiatives to tackle the issues identified. We also highlight positive perceptions of the role and emphasise the key ambassadorial role that current medical registrars have in relation to attracting tomorrow's medical registrars to the specialty.
医学住院医师的角色具有挑战性，并且被认为对一些初级医生而言是从事医学职业的一个阻碍因素。我们旨在通过探究基础医生和核心医学实习生对该角色的看法，更全面地了解这一角色。从焦点小组收集的数据采用框架分析法进行分析。确定了六个关键主题，这些主题归在“对医学住院医师角色的看法”和“角色转变”这两个标题下。我们的工作以现有文献为基础，以便更深入地理解初级医生如何看待医学住院医师的角色。根据我们的研究结果，我们就可能的培训举措提出建议，以解决所发现的问题。我们还强调了对该角色的积极看法，并强调了当前医学住院医师在吸引未来医学住院医师投身该专业方面所起的关键大使作用。
