ABSTRACT
We have published reports of the career choices of successive cohorts of qualifiers (see Bibliography). We are now able to gather together the information provided by all of our respondents.
CHOICE OF CAREER AT THE PRE-REGISTRATION STAGE
Table 3.1 shows a breakdown of first choices of career, corrected for ties, by ‘mainstreams’, that is ‘medicine’ includes the medical specialties, (excepting paediatrics, which is shown separately), and ‘surgery’ includes the surgical specialties. In this table and Tables 3.2 and 3.3 haematology is included in the pathology mainstream, except that in some of our earlier coding clinical haematology, where mentioned, was separately identified and included within the medicine mainstream. This applied to only a small number of choices.
