“…A previous illness suffered by the student or one of his family members was included as well [34]. These are individual internal factors that primarily affect the expectations and opinions of those who choose to practice medicine.…”

“…Medical students are also motivated by personal illness or a family member's illness or death [34]. Some studies suggest that external factors such as lifestyle and income considerations affect a student's choice of medical specialty [15,25,33].…”

“…Research literature investigating motives for studying medicine pointed out several intrinsic factors involved in this career choice, such as intellectual curiosity, expectations of challenge and satisfaction, need to work with people, desire to prevent disease and helping others [32,34,39]. Medical students are also motivated by personal illness or a family member's illness or death [34].…”

Application to medical studies and the choice of medicine as a career are influenced by many factors, some internal (academic ability, intellectual curiosity, interests) and some external (parental pressure, peer pressure, teacher and school expectations). Ethnicity plays a role in motivational orientation and belonging to an ethnic minority group may influence both internal and external motives and priorities in choosing medicine as a career. In this article, we present a qualitative study of the motives that impel Arab physicians in Israel to choose a medical career. As a theoretical framework, we apply self-determination theory (SDT) (Ryan and Deci in Am Psychol 55:68-78, 2000), consisting of three principal categories situated along a continuum: Amotivation, extrinsic motivation and intrinsic motivation. We show that extrinsic motivation is dominant among Arab physicians in Israel, demonstrating specifically the unique political context and cultural characteristics of Arab society in Israel. These findings, and the attention to the unique motivations of people from different ethnic minority groups who choose medical career, may increase the number of physicians from minority groups, a step known to decrease health gaps in multi-cultural contexts.

“…Also according to Smith & Cashwell (2010) we cannot exlude the fact that psychiatrists, psychologists or social workers already might possess more positive atittudes towards help and help seeking when they enroll the mental health graduate programs and mental health care profession. This might be one of the motives for their career choice (Pagnin et al, 2013). Of course this explanation might be speculative and should be tested in future investigations.…”

“…Some researchers highlight the impact of personal experiences of physical illness on medical students in relation to both the high incidence of such experiences among these students and their role in providing motivation for pursuing either a medical career in general or specialisation in the area (see, for example, Crimlisk and McManus 1987). There is also evidence that suggests medical students and early career doctors who report personal physical illness experiences are at greater risk of negative work-related consequences including burnout (Dyrbye et al 2006;and Pagnin et al 2013), lower university examination results, higher rates of anxiety, and less preparedness generally for the realities of work (Woolf, Cave, McManus & Dacre 2007) than their counterparts with no personal experiences of physical illness. Such experiences however can have positive impacts on medical practitioners' relationships with patients, particularly in terms of empathy (Woolf et al 2007).…”

Valuing complex and diverse career pathways: the career trajectories and career-related choices of early career practitioners

Historically, career was understood to be a static, linear concept concerned primarily with paid employment. More recently, broader conceptualisations of career have extended its meaning to incorporate all aspects and roles of an individual's life and to acknowledge its inherently complex, individual, dynamic and contextual nature. Change, now recognised as a key characteristic of career, underpins choice-making processes, which are influenced by a range of factors, including broad contextual issues like labour market trends, in addition to more personal concerns such as family circumstances. This thesis explored the career trajectories of early career professionals (ECPs) employed in the Health Care and Social Assistance (HCSA) industry. Specifically, the aims of the study were to investigate how ECPs describe their career trajectories and account for their careerrelated choices, to identify important attractors and deterrents in relation to career-related choices, and to explore the relevance and usefulness of chaos theory to this topic.In particular, the author sought to understand how the career trajectories of ECPs develop in the context of complex systems including the family, organisations and the broader society. The conceptual approach chosen for its potential to capture this complexity was chaos theory. Three principles of chaos theory were explored. First, chaotic systems change with time and are characterised by randomness and variation. Second, they are sensitive to initial conditions. Finally, their functioning and level of change is affected by several types of attractors.The context of this study was Queensland's non-government mental health sector (NGMHS).Challenges currently facing the broader mental health sector include inadequate responses to consumer needs, difficulties in recruiting and retaining skilled mental health professionals, an ageing workforce, and increasing reliance on non-government organisations (NGOs). Early career professionals employed within Queensland's NGMHS were chosen as the subjects of this study for their documented characteristics, which include high career mobility, variable work readiness, overand under-qualifications, and disparities between their expectations and the realities of employment.Their potential to both exacerbate and to counter challenges faced by Queensland's NGMHS made focusing on these ECPs compelling. Recent calls for Australia to enhance its long-term economic sustainability in the global context by concentrating more on developing the service economy, rather than the commodities sector, provided added impetus for this study.A qualitative, exploratory methodology was adopted. The research design involved a two-phase study consisting of concept maps and individual autobiographical interviews. Participants comprised 25Page 2 of 309 ECPs who had completed university studies in the five years prior to 2012 and who were employed in Queensland's NGMHS. Data were analysed thematically, using both inductive and deductive approaches.Early career ...
