目的：本研究的目的是调查大学普通外科住院医师培训项目的毕业生，以确定影响他们选择专业领域的因素。方法采用问卷调查法，对某大学普通外科专业1975~1989年的86名毕业生进行问卷调查。评估了生活方式、技术、临床机会和导师指导在住院医生选择专科领域和最终临床实践中的影响。结果用Fisher‘s精确检验进行分析，P<0.05。结果有效率为65%(56/86)。80%的受访者认为，影响他们选择专业的最重要因素是对该领域的兴趣；其他因素包括对声望的感知、临床机会的存在、导师的影响力和家庭优先事项。66%的受访者选择了与导师相同的职业，这归因于导师的技能(n=36，68%)、成就(n=35，66%)以及对其专业领域的口头建议(n=24，45%)，p<；0.05。结论外科住院医师在选择专科领域时使用多种标准，导师指导是其中的重要组成部分。对这些有影响力的领域的了解应该有助于培训计划提供适当的职业指导。儿科外科杂志36：1802-1804。
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to survey graduates of a university general surgical residency training program to determine factors that influenced their selection of a specialty field. METHODS A 39-item questionnaire was mailed to 86 graduates of a university general surgery program who matriculated from 1975 to 1989. The impact of lifestyle, technology, clinical opportunity, and mentor guidance in the residents' selection of a specialty field and eventual clinical practice was assessed. Results were analyzed using Fisher's Exact test with significance determined at P less than.05. RESULTS The response rate was 65% (56 of 86). Eighty percent of respondents identified the most important aspect influencing their choice of specialty was interest in that field; additional factors included perception of prestige, presence of clinical opportunity, mentor influence, and family priorities. Sixty-six percent of respondents chose the same career as their mentor, attributing this to the mentor's skill (n = 36, 68%), achievements (n = 35, 66%), and verbal recommendations about their specialty field (n = 24, 45%), p < 0.05. CONCLUSIONS Surgical residents use many criteria in selecting a field of specialty with mentor guidance an important component. Knowledge of these influential areas should help training programs offer appropriate career guidance. J Pediatr Surg 36:1802-1804.
