| description | ABSTRACT Objective: The intern medicine period is the last stage of pregraduation medical education and is also a period in which students' postgraduate plans are shaped. This study aimed to determine intern students' future career plans, branch preferences and opinions about specialization. Methods: Intern students studying at the Van Yüzüncü Yıl University Faculty of Medicine were included in the study. A survey form prepared by the researchers was used as a data collection tool. The data were analyzed with the SPSS 20 program. Results: The average age of the students (n=125) was 23.2 years, and 63.2% were male. The reasons for choosing medical school were that it was a respectable profession, interest in medicine, and job guarantee. Eighty-four percent of interns wanted to receive specialization training. The percentages of students who preferredthe gynecology and obstetrics, general surgery and pediatrics specialties were 12%, 7.2%, and 8.8%, respectively, in the first year and decreased to 6.4%, 4.8%, and 3.2%, respectively, in the sixth year. Professional satisfaction, desire to make a career, status and earning money are the prominent reasons why students think that specialization education is necessary. Among the factors affecting students' branch choices, the top three factors are interest and ideals, examination for specialty in medicine scores, and malpractice risk. Conclusion: Most of the students aimed to become specialist physicians, their views on branch preferences changed significantly in the sixth year, and there was a serious decrease in surgical branch preferences. |
