“…In terms of work-family conflict models, several participants from our study need to deal with the work-family-conflict type "overload", which reflects that the total demand on time is too great to meet the demands of different roles comfortably [43]. Just like in our study, several participants feel that they need to choose between private life or studies and not every medical student strives at all cost for her/his career [25,41,42,44]. A cross-sectional study from Germany suggested that more than onethird of medical students report not to have time to pursue individual interests [3].…”

Background: Medical students have been found to experience considerable stress due to their academic studies. The high demands associated with academic studies may interfere with demands in other domains of life. Conversely, demands in those other domains of life may conflict with academic studies. Objective: We aimed to better understand the potential interrelationships between the demands related to academic studies and in other domains of life. Design: A total of 68 medical students from a medical school in Germany participate in eight focus groups. Sessions were structured by a topic guide and were recorded, transcribed and content-analyzed. Results: Embarking on one's medical studies was perceived to be associated with important personal challenges, such as living alone for the first time and finding a new social role in one's peer group. Permanent stress was perceived to result in emotional exhaustion, which spilled over in other domains of life. Students reported to feel guilty if they did not spend their limited spare time on learning. Consequently, they felt to have little time for leisure time activities and a healthy lifestyle. Feelings of social isolation, especially during exam phases, were reported. Leisure activities were perceived to facilitate recovery from academic stress. Social ties were subjectively able to reduce stress, but also to increase stress due to demands. Side jobs were perceived to increase stress and to be time-consuming and were thus perceived to result in poorer academic performance. Certain personality characteristics seemed to amplify those perceptions. For instance, high levels of conscientiousness were felt to relate to higher expectations regarding one's academic performance and thus increased stress. Conclusion: The demands associated with medical studies, the demands in private life, lacking resources for recovery and certain personal traits as well as interactions between those domains can contribute to stress among medical students and reduce well-being.

“…As in medicine as a whole, the hitherto rather male-dominated specialty is now also becoming more female 2 , 3 , 12 . It is recognised that issues involving the distribution of well-trained junior staff between the various specialties are becoming increasingly important 3 , 15 , 16 , 17 . The problem of shortage of doctors has caught up with not only the hospitals but also the outpatient services to a varying degree, depending on the region 16 , 18 , 19 .…”

Introduction The German practical year is the last clinical placement period during Medical School. However, it remains unclear how medical students evaluate the practical year in orthopaedics and traumatology (Orthopädie und Unfallchirurgie; O & U) and whether it has an impact on becoming an O & U specialist. Method We analysed data of 146 medical students (46,7% female) who completed the placement in O & U. From the evaluation, 37 items were included in the analyses. Participants who could imagine becoming an O & U specialist (O & U-Ja) following graduation were statistically compared to those who could not (O & U-Nein). Results Overall 123 (83.7%) trainees indicated that they would like to become an O & U specialist (O & U-Ja), 18 (12.8%) negated (O & U-Nein) and 6 (4.1%) were undecided. Groups did not differ for sex and age (sex: Chi² = 2.50, p = 0.114; age: F [1.93] < 1, p = 0.764). Group differences were found for practical orientation, independency, acquisition of anamnesis and diagnostics skills and problem-solving expertise with students who could imagine becoming an O & U specialist (O & U-Ja) giving the highest ratings. Discussion Evaluations of the last medical year are essential in order to continuously improve the internship experience and to attract students towards a certain medical field and, moreover, to post-graduate specialist training. Clinics and institutions who already emphasize on the factors derived from this evaluation, or are continuously working on improvement, might be more able to attract young professionals, since personnel acquisition is starting early in the medical field.
