背景:医学生的职业选择直接影响医生劳动力短缺和资源分配不均。首先,与职业选择相关的个人和环境因素分别进行了评估,但随着时间的推移,它们的相互作用尚不清楚。第二,实际的职业选择,这种选择的原因,国家政治战略的影响目前在瑞士是未知的。
目的:这项研究的总体目标是更好地了解瑞士医学生的职业选择过程并预测这种选择。我们的具体目标将是检查主要是静态的(即,社会人口统计学和人格特质)和主要动态(即,学习情境感知,焦虑状态,动机,和职业选择的动机)预测瑞士医学院学生职业选择的变量,以及他们的互动,并研究瑞士医学生的职业选择及其最终职业道路的演变,包括与法国医学生的国际比较。
方法:瑞士医疗职业选择研究是一项全国性的,多机构,和纵向研究,瑞士所有医学院的所有医学生都有资格参加。将在4年内收集4个医学生队列的数据,使用第4年和第6年的问卷。我们将在2018年至2022年期间为医学毕业生进行研究生培训第二年的随访。我们将比较不同的瑞士医学院和法国医学院(斯特拉斯堡大学医学院)。我们还将研究新的医学硕士课程在职业选择和实践地点方面的影响。对于目标2,与瑞士医学教育研究所合作,我们将实施国家职业选择跟踪系统,并确定2010年至2012年从4所瑞士医学院毕业的2组医学生的最终职业选择.我们还将开发一个模型来预测他们最终的职业选择。数据分析将使用推理统计进行,和机器学习方法将用于完善预测模型。
结果:这项研究由瑞士国家科学基金会于2023年1月资助。2023年5月开始招聘。数据分析将在完成第一个队列数据收集后开始。
结论:我们的研究将为国家利益相关者和医学院提供有关学生未来职业选择的预测以及医生劳动力规划的关键方面的信息。我们将确定可能在医学院期间实施的有针对性的行动,并可能最终影响职业选择,并鼓励正确数量的医生在正确的专业,以满足当前服务不足的地区的需求。

BACKGROUND: A medical student\'s career choice directly influences the physician workforce shortage and the misdistribution of resources. First, individual and contextual factors related to career choice have been evaluated separately, but their interaction over time is unclear. Second, actual career choice, reasons for this choice, and the influence of national political strategies are currently unknown in Switzerland.
OBJECTIVE: The overall objective of this
study is to better understand the process of Swiss medical students\' career choice and to predict this choice. Our specific aims will be to examine the predominately static (ie, sociodemographic and personality traits) and predominately dynamic (ie, learning context perceptions, anxiety state, motivation, and motives for career choice) variables that predict the career choice of Swiss medical school students, as well as their interaction, and to examine the evolution of Swiss medical students\' career choice and their ultimate career path, including an international comparison with French medical students.
METHODS: The Swiss Medical Career Choice
study is a national, multi-institution, and longitudinal
study in which all medical students at all medical schools in Switzerland are eligible to participate. Data will be collected over 4 years for 4 cohorts of medical students using questionnaires in years 4 and 6. We will perform a follow-up during postgraduate training year 2 for medical graduates between 2018 and 2022. We will compare the different Swiss medical schools and a French medical school (the University of Strasbourg Faculty of Medicine). We will also examine the effect of new medical master\'s programs in terms of career choice and location of practice. For aim 2, in collaboration with the Swiss Institute for Medical Education, we will implement a national career choice tracking system and identify the final career choice of 2 cohorts of medical students who graduated from 4 Swiss medical schools from 2010 to 2012. We will also develop a model to predict their final career choice. Data analysis will be conducted using inferential statistics, and machine learning approaches will be used to refine the predictive model.
RESULTS: This
study was funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation in January 2023. Recruitment began in May 2023. Data analysis will begin after the completion of the first cohort data collection.
CONCLUSIONS: Our research will inform national stakeholders and medical schools on the prediction of students\' future career choice and on key aspects of physician workforce planning. We will identify targeted actions that may be implemented during medical school and may ultimately influence career choice and encourage the correct number of physicians in the right specialties to fulfill the needs of currently underserved regions.
