| Research Abstract |
We conducted nationwide survey for the 4th and 6th year medical students as well as residents on the 2-year mandatory rotation in Japan to elucidate the factors influencing specialty choice and determining factors for practice sites. An anonymous survey was also conducted by sending a questionnaire to members of Medical Associations in three Japanese prefectures. We found characteristics, perspectives and/or personal experience of respondents influence the career choice. Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that the strongest determinant of future practice sites was the size of area where physicians grew up.
