Students entering three Australian medical schools were followed over a 15-year period to trace both movement into the profession and the longer-term outcomes of early career aspirations. A variety of student entry characteristics are examined together with aspirations, attainments and self-images. The results indicate that women, rather than men, are more likely to enter medical school with aspirations that involve specialty training. As they proceed through medical school, both groups move away from the idea of pursuing specialty training, although women tend to decide earlier than men that specialty practice is not for them. Women students are more likely than men to attain career goals if these involve general practice and less likely to if these involve specialization. The results indicate that although at graduation women medical practitioners have the same career goals and desires as men, if additional training is required women are unlikely to have their aspirations fulfilled.
对进入三所澳大利亚医学院的学生进行了为期15年的跟踪，以追踪他们进入该行业的情况以及早期职业抱负的长期结果。研究考察了各种学生入学特征以及抱负、成就和自我形象。结果表明，与男性相比，女性更有可能带着涉及专科培训的抱负进入医学院。在医学院学习过程中，两组学生都不再追求专科培训，不过女性往往比男性更早决定专科实践不适合自己。如果职业目标涉及全科医疗，女学生比男学生更有可能实现职业目标；而如果涉及专科，则可能性较小。结果表明，尽管毕业时女医生与男医生有相同的职业目标和愿望，但如果需要额外培训，女性不太可能实现自己的抱负。
