Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Career Development
  • Medical Specialties

Background:

  • Understanding medical student career preferences is crucial for addressing specialty shortages.
  • Early career decisions influence specialty distribution and healthcare workforce planning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare career preferences of incoming medical students with graduating interns.
  • To identify factors influencing the selection of a medical specialty.

Main Methods:

  • Cross-sectional, questionnaire-based survey at Tehran University of Medical Sciences.
  • Utilized a translated and modified specialties questionnaire.
  • Anonymously surveyed freshmen and interns.

Main Results:

  • Over 50% of both freshmen and interns were undecided about their specialty.
  • Freshmen preferred surgery and internal medicine; interns favored "other specialties".
  • Interns showed less interest in anticipated income, prestige, and helping patients compared to freshmen.

Conclusions:

  • A significant portion of medical students lack clear career goals upon entering and exiting medical school.
  • Medical school experiences appear to influence a decrease in interest towards surgery and internal medicine.
