“…In order to increase the density of physicians in UAs, it is necessary to triple the number of physicians who intend to practise in these areas . Doing so will also decrease dependence on members of the foreign workforce, who currently represent one‐third of practising physicians . Moreover, the findings revealed four motivational factors driving specialty choice: intellectual challenge; work variety; work conditions, and enthusiasm for the specialty.…”

“…As Swiss students are free to choose their specialty and area of practice after 6 years of study and a national qualifying examination, a medical workforce maldistribution was clearly predicted in recent statistics.

Context Exploring student intentions to practise in underserved areas (UAs) is necessary to inform the planning and training of the future medical workforce in order to increase effectiveness and fulfil societal needs. However, little is known about the motivational factors influencing these intentions. This paper explores medical students’ intentions to practise in UAs and the motivational factors predicting these intentions. Methods Eligible participants included graduating medical students from four of the five Swiss medical schools, who self‐reported specialty choice, intentions to practise in UAs, and motives that explained their career choices. Chi‐squared analysis was used to compare site, gender, specialty choice and UA practice intention. Motives were aggregated to obtain motivational factors using a principal component analysis with varimax rotation. Logistic regression was used to predict the effects of these motivational factors and of gender on UA practice intention. Results Of 1749 students included in the study, 240 (13.7%) expressed an intention to practise in UAs (62.1% of whom intended to practise in rural areas) and 719 (41.1%) were undecided. In those who wished to practise in UAs, general practice (21.6%) was the most preferred specialty. Motivational factors influencing specialty choice were intellectual challenge, work variety, work conditions and enthusiasm (Kaiser‐Meyer‐Olkin index 0.79, P < .001, 49.0% of variance explained). Students motivated by work variety (odds ratio [OR] 1.4, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.2‐1.7) and by work conditions (OR 1.3, 95% CI 1.1‐1.6) were more likely to choose UAs and those motivated by intellectual challenge (OR 0.4, 95% CI 0.3‐0.5) were less likely. Undecided students’ motivations were very similar to those of students interested in working in UAs. Conclusions The actual number of Swiss students interested in working in UAs is low and is probably insufficient to meet current societal needs. Work variety and work conditions appear to be factors that might attract interested and undecided students towards working in UAs.

“…Cette faible représentation des femmes dans ces structures sanitaires s’expliquerait par le fait que la situation sociale de la plupart des cadres femmes est défavorable aux fonctions administratives ; bon nombre de femmes n’ayant pas atteint un niveau académique de maîtrise pour mériter des postes des cadres. Nos résultats corroborent ceux d’autres études 16 , 17 . La moitié de personnes interrogées sont des cadres (inspecteur, chef de bureau, médecin coordinateur et médecin chef de ZS) et plus du tiers ont une ancienneté dépassant 15 ans (37 %).…”

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.
