The decision to apply for medical school is the first and one of the most important career choices that a physician will ever make and the motives for choosing a career in medicine seem to remain relatively stable during medical school. Our study aimed to investigate what motivated the students, their satisfaction with the PBL curriculum and their plans following graduation.
A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out from Jan to March 2021 at Batterjee medical college, Jeddah. The data was collected on a questionnaire from undergraduate students of first year till the internship year.
Among the 112 students who completed the questionnaire, 85 (75.9%) chose studying medicine to be their own choice, with service to humanity 56 (50%) being the main reason, followed by monetary 20 (18.8%) reasons. Generally 78 (69.6%) of the responders preferred the PBL curriculum over the traditional one. Most of the students 42 (37.5%) planned to undergo the residency program in Saudi Arabia, with general surgery being the specialty preferred by 33 (29.5%) students.
The findings in our study suggest that altruism is the most common influencing factor that led students joining a medical college.
申请医学院校的决定是医生所做的首个也是最重要的职业选择之一，并且在医学院就读期间，选择医学职业的动机似乎相对稳定。我们的研究旨在调查是什么激励着学生，他们对基于问题的学习（PBL）课程的满意度以及毕业后的计划。
2021年1月至3月在吉达的巴特吉医学院开展了一项横断面描述性研究。通过问卷从本科一年级学生直至实习年级收集数据。
在完成问卷的112名学生中，85名（75.9%）选择学医是出于自身意愿，其中主要原因是服务人类，有56名（50%），其次是经济原因，有20名（18.8%）。总体而言，78名（69.6%）应答者更喜欢PBL课程而非传统课程。大多数学生42名（37.5%）计划在沙特阿拉伯接受住院医师培训项目，其中33名（29.5%）学生选择普通外科作为专业。
我们研究中的结果表明，利他主义是促使学生进入医学院的最常见影响因素。
