Career Choices for Australian Medical Students: How, what, where and why - A longitudinal study

众所周知，澳大利亚的医生短缺问题使得了解未来医生的工作方式和工作地点对于规划未来的医疗队伍和解决澳大利亚人在卫生领域的准入问题至关重要。这项大型的全国性研究将提供有关未来医生希望如何执业以及这些选择和决定因素如何随时间变化的宝贵见解。这项研究的结果将有助于那些教育和培训我们的医学生和那些规划我们未来卫生工作者的人，以更好地满足我们的社区卫生需求，特别是那些目前获得医疗服务的机会减少的人。

The well publicised doctor shortage in Australia makes understanding how and where future doctors want to work critical to planning tomorrow's medical workforce and addressing access problems for Australians in health areas of need. This large national study will provide valuable insights about how future doctors wish to practise and how these choices and determining factors change over time. Findings from this study will assist those who educate and train our medical students and those who plan our future health workforce to better meet our community health needs, especially those currently with reduced access to medical care.
