“…In addition, teaching effectiveness was found to be independently associated with providing a good role model [ 37 ], and conscious role modelling was deemed a professional responsibility of educators [ 38 , 39 ]. GP role models can have an important impact before medical school during student work experience, raising awareness of the speciality to school pupils [ 40 ]. Additional positive attributes to those detailed above include providing continuity of care [ 41 ] and demonstrating clinical reasoning skills [ 42 ].…”

“…Students perceived the job of a GP as ‘difficult to do well’ as they witnessed secondary care role models ‘bashing GPs’ and their ‘poor’ or ‘inappropriate referrals’ [ 35 ]. Medium and low scoring papers provide further evidence of role modelling influencing the perceptions of future doctors [ 40 , 56 ] and role models contributing to a perceived lack of intellectual challenge in the speciality [ 57 ].…”

Role modelling has been identified as an important phenomenon in medical education. Key reports have highlighted the ability of role modelling to support medical students towards careers in family medicine although the literature of specific relevance to role modelling in speciality has not been systematically explored. This systematic review aimed to fill this evidence gap by assimilating the worldwide literature on the impact of role modelling on the future general practitioner (GP) workforce. A systematic search was conducted in Medline, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane, ERIC and CINAHL, and all authors were involved in the article screening process. A review protocol determined those articles selected for inclusion, which were then quality assessed, coded and thematically analysed. Forty-six articles were included which generated four broad themes: the identity of role models in general practice, role modelling and becoming a doctor, the impact of role modelling on attitudes towards the speciality, and the subsequent influence on behaviours/career choice. Our systematic review confirmed that role modelling in both primary and secondary care has a crucial impact on the future GP workforce, with the potential to shape perceptions, to attract and deter individuals from the career, and to support their development as professionals. Role modelling must be consciously employed and supported as an educational strategy to facilitate the training of future GPs.

“…Additionally, Vocational scholars also stress the importance of career exposure, as it influences career studies, especially those that shape career goals as well as guide one's learning experiences (Blustein, 2001;Lent et al, 2000). Curtis et al (2008) found out that the internship programs were the best way to offer undergraduates a true portrait of what specific jobs entails. Internship programs has given the undergraduates a better idea of career choice which will facilitate their chances of employment in the labor market.…”

Lack of career exposure and rightful decision-making among university students has led to failure and inability to make a satisfying career choice. This lack of exposure emanates as a result poor supervision of programs which includes career education initiatives, workshops, seminars and internship programs which develops career self-efficacy among both of the genders. The aim of this study was to examine whether gender moderated the relationship between career decision-making self-efficacy, career exposure and career choice of Malaysian undergraduates. This study has employed a cross-sectional survey which involves a sample of 131 final-year students from eight faculties in a selected Malaysian public research university. The outcome of this study has demonstrated that there was a positive and moderate relationship between career decision-making self-efficacy and career choice (r=0.452; p<0.001). The findings further indicate a positive and strong relationship between career exposure and career choice (r=0.745; p<0.001). But gender did not moderate the relationship between career decision-making self-efficacy and career choice; neither did it moderate the relationship between career exposure and career choice. The implications of this study are that, both the colleges and faculties should offer a helping hand in encouraging student participation in activities such as organizing competition and designing programs that suit students' needs and challenges. It is recommended for universities in Malaysia to initiate a career counseling unit in all the universities and regenerate the existing ones, as that will facilitate lingering issues relating to career choice, career exposure and career decision making efficacy.
