The learning styles and preferences of health professionals have been studied increasingly over the past decade, yet few relationships have been found between doctors' career choices and learning styles. One of the problems of relating learning styles to specialty choice is that learning style instruments measure how an individual perceives and processes information in learning situations. This study re-examines doctors' career choices utilizing a learning preference inventory which assesses how one chooses to approach a learning situation. The study results indicate that there are significant differences in doctors' approaches to learning and interacting with others among the different career specialties using a learning preference inventory. This is in contrast to previous research with Kolb's Learning Style Inventory in which learning style was not found to be related to career choice.
在过去十年中，对医疗专业人员的学习风格和偏好的研究越来越多，但医生的职业选择与学习风格之间的关联却很少被发现。将学习风格与专业选择联系起来的一个问题是，学习风格工具衡量的是个体在学习情境中如何感知和处理信息。本研究利用一种学习偏好量表重新审视医生的职业选择，该量表评估的是一个人选择如何应对学习情境。研究结果表明，使用学习偏好量表时，不同职业专业的医生在学习方式以及与他人互动方式上存在显著差异。这与之前使用科尔布学习风格量表的研究形成对比，在该研究中未发现学习风格与职业选择有关。
