The Timing of Career Decisions in Internal Medicine.

Ramsdell, Joe W.

Journal of Medical Education, v58 n7 p547-54 Jul 1983

A survey of one university's internal medicine residency graduates from 1969-79 showed 30 percent had no change in plans regarding general versus subspecialty practice since medical school, and 41 percent made final decisions during residency. Inpatient care experiences, peer interactions, and faculty role models were most influential. (MSE)
