背景:在英国的医生中,关于推迟专业培训的情绪越来越高,移民到国外行医,或者完全离开这个行业。这一趋势可能对英国职业的未来产生重大影响。这种情绪在医学生群体中的存在程度尚不清楚。
目的:我们的主要结果是确定当前医学生毕业后和完成基础课程后的职业意向,并确定这些意向背后的动机。次要结果包括确定哪些,如果有的话,人口因素改变了医学毕业生追求不同职业道路的倾向,确定医学生计划追求哪些专业,并了解目前对在国家卫生局(NHS)工作的前景的看法。
方法:确定医学生的职业意向(AIMS)研究是一项全国性的,多机构,和横断面研究,英国所有医学院的所有医学生都有资格参加。它是通过一本小说管理的,混合方法,和基于网络的问卷,并通过为此目的招募的大约200名学生的合作网络进行传播。将进行定量分析和主题分析。
结果:该研究于2023年1月16日在全国范围内启动。数据收集于2023年3月27日关闭,数据分析已经开始。预计结果将在今年晚些时候公布。
结论:NHS中的医生职业满意度是一个经过充分研究的话题;但是,缺乏能够为医学生提供对未来职业前景的洞察力的高能研究。预计这项研究的结果将使这个问题变得清晰。确定的医疗培训或NHS内部的改进领域可以有针对性地改善医生的工作条件,并帮助留住医学毕业生。结果也可能有助于未来的劳动力规划工作。

BACKGROUND: Among doctors in the United Kingdom, there is growing sentiment regarding delaying specialist training, emigrating to practice medicine abroad, or leaving the profession altogether. This trend may have substantial implications for the future of the profession in the United Kingdom. The extent to which this sentiment is also present in the medical student population is not well understood.
OBJECTIVE: Our primary outcome is to determine current medical students\' career intentions after graduation and upon completing the foundation program and to establish the motivations behind these intentions. Secondary outcomes include determining which, if any, demographic factors alter the propensity to pursue different career paths available to a medical graduate, determining which specialties medical students plan on pursuing, and understanding current views on the prospect of working in the National Health Service (NHS).
METHODS: The Ascertaining the Career Intentions of Medical Students (AIMS)
study is a national, multi-institution, and cross-sectional
study in which all medical students at all medical schools in the United Kingdom are eligible to participate. It was administered via a novel, mixed methods, and web-based questionnaire and disseminated through a collaborative network of approximately 200 students recruited for this purpose. Both quantitative and thematic analyses will be performed.
RESULTS: The
study was launched nationally on January 16, 2023. Data collection was closed on March 27, 2023, and data analysis has commenced. The results are expected to be available later in the year.
CONCLUSIONS: Doctors\' career satisfaction within the NHS is a well-researched topic; however, there is a shortage of high-powered studies that are able to offer insight into medical students\' outlook on their future careers. It is anticipated that the results of this
study will bring clarity to this issue. Identified areas of improvement in medical training or within the NHS could be targeted to improve doctors\' working conditions and help retain medical graduates. Results may also aid future workforce-planning efforts.
