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

众所周知，澳大利亚医生短缺，这使得了解未来医生想要如何以及在哪里工作，对于规划未来的医疗劳动力和解决澳大利亚人在健康领域需要的问题至关重要。这项大规模的全国性研究将为未来的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学生以及那些规划我们未来卫生人力的人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机会较少的社区卫生需求。

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.
