The literature on medical student career choice has identified several influences that can be categorized as student demographics, medical school characteristics, students' perceptions of specialty characteristics, and student-held values. A logistic regression model that included demographics, medical school, and student-rated influences as a proxy for perceptions and values was used to determine their relative contribution to student career choice for three consecutive cohorts of senior medical students attending two schools (n = 649). This model identified a positive relation between choice of primary care career and both student-rated influences and one student demographic characteristic, but not between career choice and school attended. Variables positively correlated with primary care career choice were related to working with people and marital status. Negatively correlated variables were related to income and prestige.
关于医学生职业选择的文献已经确定了几种影响因素，这些因素可分为学生人口统计学特征、医学院校特征、学生对专业特征的认知以及学生秉持的价值观。使用一个逻辑回归模型来确定它们对两所学校（n = 649）连续三届高年级医学生职业选择的相对贡献，该模型将人口统计学特征、医学院校以及学生评分影响因素作为认知和价值观的替代指标。该模型确定了初级保健职业选择与学生评分影响因素以及一个学生人口统计学特征之间存在正相关关系，但职业选择与就读学校之间不存在这种关系。与初级保健职业选择呈正相关的变量与与人共事和婚姻状况有关。呈负相关的变量与收入和声望有关。
