“…In addition, students may begin the third year having little direct experience with different specialties and may be influenced by cultural stereotypes. 27 As a result, findings may have been affected by confirmation bias due to student expectations of different experiences. 28 Directly addressing and putting professional issues in context during the surgery clerkship student orientation may also have positively impacted surgery professionalism ratings.…”

PURPOSE To determine whether a brief student survey can differentiate amongst third-year clerkship student’s professionalism experiences and whether sharing specific feedback with surgery faculty and residents can lead to improvements. METHODS Medical students completed a survey on professionalism at the conclusion of each third-year clerkship specialty rotation during academic years 2007-2010. RESULTS 2007-2008 comparisons of survey items revealed significantly lower ratings for the surgery clerkship on both Excellence (F = 10.75, p < 0.001) and Altruism/Respect (F = 15.59, p < 0.001) subscales. This data was shared with clerkship directors, prompting the surgery department to discuss student perceptions of professionalism with faculty and residents. Post-meeting ratings of surgery professionalism significantly improved on both Excellence and Altruism/Respect dimensions (p < 0.005 for each). CONCLUSIONS A brief survey can be used to measure student perceptions of professionalism and an intervention as simple as a surgery department openly sharing results and communicating expectations appears to drive positive change in student experiences.

“…Andere Instrumente sind nach dem Prinzip des Stereotypendifferenzials konstruiert, bei dem die Einschätzung einer Gruppe anhand vorgegebener bipolarer Adjektivpaare erfolgt, hierzu zählen die Health Team Stereotype Scale (HTSS) (Parker & Reisch, 1981;Parker & Chan, 1986) und der Attitudes to Health Professions Questionnaire (AHPQ) (Lindqvist et al, 2005b). Vereinzelt wurden auch studienspezifische quantitative Instrumente zur Stereotypenerfassung eingesetzt (Bruhn et al, 1964;Martin et al, 1967;Harris, 1981;Ryan & McKenna, 1994;Ben Natan, 2009). Die wenigen qualitativ-empirischen Erhebungen nutzten für die Datenerhebung entweder halboffene leitfadengestützte Interviews (Nisbet et al, 2008;Ajjawi et al, 2009;Derbyshire & Machin, 2011) oder offene schriftliche Befragungen (Boggatz et al, 2010 …”

Background:As the scientific discourse about interprofessional learning, teaching, and practice has been gaining momentum in recent years, German-speaking countries still have a considerable amount of catching up to do compared with other countries. The discourse about stereotypes and their effects may serve as an example in this respect. Objective: We set out to establish which theoretical and methodological approaches have been used in research on stereotypes endorsed by health professions students and which empirical findings are currently available on the effects of such stereotypes on interprofessional learning, teaching and practice. The main goal was to summarize the current research, to point out research desiderata and identify starting points for further research about this topic. Methods: A broad narrative review of English and German literature was performed. Results were prepared, reflected and descriptive and analytical summarized. Results: International research on stereotypes of health professions students in the interprofessional discourse is characterized by social-psychological theoretical and quantitative-empirical methodological approaches. Heterogeneous study designs limit the comparability and generalizability of current study findings. Answers to questions of whether and how stereotypes can be influenced through interprofessional learning, teaching, and practice were inconsistent in the literature. Conclusion: Research findings on stereotypes endorsed by health professions students provided interesting theoretical and empirical perspectives for the debate surrounding interprofessional learning, teaching, and practice. These perspectives should be used to guide and stimulate further research on this topic in German-speaking countries.Stereotypes -students -health professional -interprofessional education -empirical research -review Keywords Abstract

Doctors’ career choice: previous research and its relevance for policy-making

During the last 10 years, a good deal of interest has been shown by both researchers and policy-makers in the factors which determine doctors' choice of specialty. In this sense 'specialty' includes not only the hospital specialties but general practice and occupational and community health. This interest has arisen in part from the problems of geographical and inter-specialty maldistribution which have persisted since the inception of the Health Service. As plans for increasing the total numbers of British doctors begin to be put into effect, the attention of medical manpower planners may well be more sharply focused on ways of ensuring that this increased supply is used in the best possible way.
