鉴于加拿大迫在眉睫的医生短缺问题，我们希望确定进入加拿大医学院的学生的职业偏好与加拿大当前医生结构的吻合程度。职业选择信息是通过对 2,896 名加拿大医学生进入医学院时进行的调查收集的。将调查受访者的职业选择分布与加拿大当前的医生专业组合进行了比较。我们发现，学生在医学院入学时的职业选择与加拿大当前医生的专业组合之间存在明显的不匹配。这种不匹配在城市家庭医学中最为严重，与目前的执业医生比例相比，进入医学院时对这一职业感兴趣的学生要少得多。对精神病学感兴趣的学生也少于目前执业医师的比例。面对当前医生的次优分布，学生兴趣与加拿大各专业目前执业医生比例之间的不匹配尤其令人不安。如果不采取措施纠正学生对某些专业兴趣的不匹配，医生的短缺和分布不均将进一步加剧。诸如此类的研究可以为了解一个国家未来卫生人力资源挑战提供一个窗口。
Given the looming shortage of physicians in Canada, we wished to determine how closely the career preference of students entering Canadian medical schools was aligned with the current physician mix in Canada. Career choice information was collected from a survey of 2,896 Canadian medical students upon their entry to medical school. The distribution of career choices of survey respondents was compared to the current physician speciality mix in Canada. We show that there is a clear mismatch between student career choice at medical school entry and the current specialty mix of physicians in Canada. This mismatch is greatest in Urban Family Medicine with far fewer students interested in this career at medical school entry compared to the current proportion of practicing physicians. There are also fewer students interested in Psychiatry than the current proportion of practicing physicians. This mismatch between the student interest and the current proportion of practicing physicians in the various specialities in Canada is particularly disturbing in the face of the current sub-optimal distribution of physicians. If nothing is done to correct this mismatch of student interest in certain specialities, shortages and misdistributions of physicians will be further amplified. Studies such as this can give a window into the future health human resources challenges for a nation.
