在过去的10年里，在英国，人们越来越关注招募初级医生进入病理学，特别是组织病理学。在这项研究中，我们报告的职业选择病理学，来自邮政问卷调查的所有资格从所有英国医学院在9个资格年自1974年以来。74%（24 623/33 417）和73%（20 709/28 468）的医生在获得资格后1年和3年时作出了答复。近年来，医生在取得资格后一年选择病理学的比例急剧下降：1974年至1983年为4.5%（95%置信区间4.1-4.9%），1993年至2002年为2.3%（CI 2.0-2.5%）。57%的医生谁选择了病理学1年后的资格仍在病理学工作，在第10年。时间和工作条件，医生的个人评估他们的能力，以及他们的经验的主题作为一个学生影响长期的职业选择病理学。招聘英国毕业生进入病理学专业必须增加，以满足新的和不断扩大的亚专业的需求。这取决于开发创新的方法，提高医学生和初级医院医生对病理学的认识。版权所有（c）2005大不列颠和爱尔兰病理学会。出版社：John Wiley & Sons，Ltd
In the past 10 years there has been increasing concern about recruitment of junior doctors into pathology, particularly histopathology, in the UK. In this study, we report on career choices for pathology, derived from postal questionnaire surveys of all qualifiers from all UK medical schools in nine qualification years since 1974. 74% (24 623/33 417) and 73% (20 709/28 468) of doctors responded at I and 3 years after qualification. The percentage of doctors choosing pathology 1 year after qualification has fallen sharply in recent years: between 1974 and 1983 it was 4.5% (95% confidence interval 4.1-4.9%) and between 1993 and 2002 it was 2.3% (CI 2.0-2.5%). 57% of doctors who chose pathology 1 year after qualification were still working in pathology at year 10. Hours and conditions of work, the doctor's personal assessment of their aptitudes, and their experience of the subject as a student influenced long-term career choices for pathology. Recruitment of UK graduates into the pathology specialties must increase to meet demand in the new and expanding subspecialties. This depends on developing innovative ways of raising the profile of pathology to medical students and junior hospital doctors. Copyright (c) 2005 Pathological Society of Great Britain and Ireland.
