MEDILOURNALby the fact that a senior lectureship in community medicine with special responsibility in primary and continuing medical care is to be established at the same time as the four foundation chairs. It is hoped to involve the professor of human reproduction and obstetrics, and eventually at least the professors of psychiatry, child health, and geriatrics (when these are appointed), in the teaching of community medicine and to forge a close liaison between the division, the regional hospital board, and the local public health service. were almost exclusively male, and were not academically outstanding. They were more decided about their future career than any other group, and they were relatively low in anxiety level. Many of the future hospital specialists (excluding surgeons) were women. They were the group least decided about their careers. Potential general practitioners tended to be more anxious in personality. They had failed more professional examinaions than any other group. They read less than other groups, the few women among them being particularly non-studious. REFERENCESWomen doctors in general were less anxious, more impulsive and sociable, and less studious than the men. The impulsive and sociable doctors of either sex were less decided about their career plans than their relatively unsociable colleagues. IntroductionThe doctors whose career choices were followed fell into two classes and had started their medical studies in 1959 and 1960. They had been studied initially in their preclinical years and again intensively in their fifth (penultimate) year. This report deals with four dimensions of their personalities, with their academic records, and with their choice of career in 1966.
