Abstract
Those who choose medicine as career
generally make their decisions and have their
professional identity earlier than the students
from other specialty. However, they still
confront the problem that they must choose
from among many specialty and subspecialty
alternatives, types of medical practice, and
practice of location. According to the
results of previous research, the percentage
of medical students who change their career
plan during medical school is pretty high.
Therefore, the purpose of this study is to
understand medical students’ career
development thoroughly and investigate the
determinant and influence of related factors
on career development of medical students.
By surveying 536 medical students in
medical college at National Taiwan University,
the results of this study found the most of the
medical students were interesting in selecting
internal medicine, surgery, pediatrics as career.
Students’ interests and personality were the
major determinants.
In additions, the results of preference of
practicing location showed that the most of the
students preferred to staying in Taipei area, and
their home towns were their second choice.
No student wanted to leave island for their
practicing.
To measure career development during the
exploration and early establishment stages of a
physician’s career, it is important to construct
an inventory. The results of this study
indicated that the career development in
medical students were progressively developed
stages by stages. However, the stages of
crystallizing a career preference and specifying
physician as career preference, and the stages of
crystallizing a specialty preference and
specifying a specialty preferences were
somewhat in the reverse order.
This study also suggested that more
related research were needed in the future.
Especially, the longitudinal studies of medical
students’ career development were highly
recommended.
