Changes in job aspirations during physician training in Australia

Australian and New Zealand Journal of Medicine

Abstract

There is uncertainty regarding the effects of physician training on planned practice features of Australian physician trainees, for example plans for urban or rural, full-time or part-time and academic/research or purely clinical practice. These plans may differ between male and female trainees and between generalists and sub-specialists. To examine the changes in anticipated practice patterns over the course of advanced physician training. Longitudinal study of doctors in Australia who passed the Part I clinical examination of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians in 1991, 1992 and 1993, followed annually up until 1995. Changes in future practice plans regarding full- or part-time work, rural or urban practice and pure clinical work or a mixture with research were examined among generalist and specialist trainees and among men and women. Statistical analysis included the calculation of chi square for trend statistics and intraclass correlation coefficients. At least one follow-up questionnaire was received form 80% of the 334 original respondents. The majority had been able to obtain their training job of choice. By the time of last follow-up, around 80% planned to practise in a capital city, indicating a shift during t...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
