Career and practice choices for Australian medical students: How, what, where and why - Stage 2 of a longitudinal study

澳大利亚医生短缺广为人知，这使得了解未来医生希望如何以及在哪里工作对于规划未来的医疗队伍和解决澳大利亚人在有需要的卫生领域的准入问题至关重要。这项大规模的全国队列研究将为未来医生希望如何执业以及这些选择和决定因素如何随着时间的推移而变化提供有价值的见解。这项研究的结果将有助于那些教育和培训我们的医科学生的人，以及那些计划我们未来的卫生人力资源的人，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保健的机会较少的人。

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 cohort study will provide valuable insights into 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.
