Career planning remains relatively unexplored as a domain of medical education. Our aim was to explore the career planning journey undertaken by medical students. Results Approximately one third of participants had decided their future specialty. Important factors in career choice were 'interest in specific [specialty] aspects,' 'work-life balance,' 'personality type' of others in the specialty, an enjoyable experience on rotation and role models. Negative influential factors included poor conduct of doctors encountered and negative portrayals of specialities by practicing doctors. Conclusion The undergraduate and early postgraduate periods are formative times in career planning for junior doctors. Students and interns/FY1s are strongly influenced by doctors in the clinical setting, and clinicians should be aware of this power to exert both positive and negative influence.
职业规划在医学教育领域相对较少被探讨。我们的目的是探索医学生的职业规划历程。
约三分之一的参与者已经决定了未来的专业方向。职业选择的重要因素包括对特定专业领域的“兴趣”、“工作与生活的平衡”、专业中其他人的“性格类型”、轮转时的愉快经历和榜样。负面的影响因素包括遇到的医生的不良行为以及执业医生对专业的负面描述。
本科和研究生早期阶段是初级医生职业规划的形成时期。医学生和实习医生/第一年住院医生受到临床环境中医生的强烈影响，临床医生应该意识到这种积极和消极影响的力量。
