The unpopularity of Pathology among medical students is of concern worldwide, as is the high drop-out rate during the speciality training programme. Spain is no exception, with an estimated annual drop-out rate greater than 20%. In the present study, we aimed to analyse factors related to motivation, teaching and satisfaction with post-graduate training. Postgraduates in their 3 and 4 year of speciality training programmes and pathologists during their first three years as specialists were asked to fill in a questionnaire; 155 participants from different parts of Spain took part in the study. Our results revealed a high level of satisfaction among those who had chosen pathology as their specialty and that their satisfaction correlated significantly with two factors: a previous knowledge of the speciality when choosing it and the quality of the training received. We detected certain differences amongst different training centres. The weakest points and thus those that need to be improved were training in molecular techniques, research methods and fine needle aspiration. Improving speciality training is certainly possible and should be the concern of all those who are responsible for postgraduate education in teaching hospitals.
病理学在医学生中不受欢迎这一情况在全球范围内都令人担忧，专科培训项目期间的高辍学率亦是如此。西班牙也不例外，估计年辍学率超过20%。在本研究中，我们旨在分析与动机、教学以及对研究生培训满意度相关的因素。我们要求参加专科培训项目3、4年级的研究生以及成为专科医生头三年的病理学家填写一份问卷；来自西班牙不同地区的155名参与者参与了该研究。我们的结果显示，那些选择病理学作为其专业的人满意度很高，并且他们的满意度与两个因素显著相关：选择该专业时对该专业的预先了解以及所接受培训的质量。我们在不同的培训中心发现了某些差异。最薄弱的环节，也就是那些需要改进的方面，是分子技术培训、研究方法和细针穿刺。改善专科培训肯定是可行的，并且应该是教学医院中所有负责研究生教育的人员所关心的问题。
