Introduction. Higher education institutions thoroughly analyze the labor market. Knowing the career plans of students is important information showing the potential and direction of development of the labor market. Aim The aim of the study was to gather information on career plans and further development of graduates of the Division of Dentistry, Medical University of Lublin in the years 2004-2012. Material and methods The survey covered a group of 743 graduates of medical-dental faculty. Students filled in an anonymous questionnaire after passing the exam in conservative dentistry with endodontics. The questions concerned the location and nature of future work, as well as the desire to specialize and determining the area in which the graduate is planning to specialize. Results The question: “Where are you planning to start work after graduation?” – was answered by more than 35% of the students: “In a big city outside of Lublin.” Over 24% of respondents expressed a desire to return to their hometown, and 21% declared remaining in Lublin. Approximately 13.6% of respondents were considering going abroad, and about 5.65% of the students declared choosing village or a small town, as a place for future work. Among all graduated students, 45.5% would like to work in a medical joint venture, 38.5% wishing to undertake business activity in their own dental office. Only 7.4% of students declared their desire to remain at the university and carry out scientific work. The vast majority of graduates (87.35%) expressed the desire for specialization. The most frequently indicated specialization was conservative dentistry with endo-dontics – the choice was indicated by 22.62% of the respondents. Students expressed similar interest in further development in the field of oral surgery (20.33%), prosthodontics (20.33%) and orthodontics (18.58%). Conclusions Most of the students of dental-medical major of Medical University of Lublin after graduation planned to work in Poland. The respondents were planning to work primarily in medical partnerships or to open their own dental offices. The vast majority of respondents declared a desire to get specialization.

Background: In recent years, the interest of Polish medical students in choosing a career in surgical subspecialties has been declining. In the face of a growing demand for surgical procedures it seems essential to find the reasons responsible for that situation. Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate the level of interest in pursuing surgical careers among Polish medical students and to identify factors that may influence their decision. Material and methods: An anonymous questionnaire was distributed electronically among students from 11 different Polish medical universities. Results: We surveyed 595 individuals (190 male and 405 female). 48% of them declared interest in choosing surgical subspecialty as a career. The percentage of students who considered it before medical school was higher and reached almost 65%. Slight or no interest in surgery as a field of study (OR = 20.6), self-assessment of surgical predispositions as unsatisfactory (OR = 14.3), feeling unable to enter and accomplish surgical specialty (OR = 5.2), being discouraged by the partner (OR = 3.4), negative past experience with the surgical environment (OR = 3.2), not having a surgeon as a mentor (OR = 2.6), no authorship of journal articles or congress presentations (OR = 1.9) and first contact with the operating theatre >2nd year of study (OR = 1.9) were found to be the independent risk factors of abandoning a surgical career. Conclusions: Most medical students are interested in pursuing a surgical specialty at some time during their education. However, being discouraged by lifestyle issues, surgical training quality or experiencing gender discrimination, they often resign from such a career path.

INTRODUCTION: The growing number of people struggling with mental disorders has a negative impact on the unstable staffing situation among psychiatrists both in Poland and in the world. The aim of the study was to identify and group the factors influencing the choice of specialization in psychiatry by students of medical faculties around the world. METHODS: The resources of five internet databases and search engines (PubMed, Base, Embase, Google Scholar, and ResearchGate) from the period 2014–2022 were searched using the following keywords in English: “psychiatry”, “career choice”, “medical student”, and “attitude to psychiatry”. RESULTS: 21 publications were qualified for the final analysis. Among the selected articles, the majority (n = 16) were descriptions of research results using original questionnaires and validated tools. Four categories of factors were distinguished: personality and social factors, related to psychiatry at university, resulting from the nature of the specialization, and resulting from work with psychiatrically treated patients. The factors positively influencing the choice are participation in additional classes in psychiatry and the presence of a mentally ill person in the student’s environment. The negative factors include the stigmatization of mental illnesses in society and the accompanying negative image of the specialization. CONCLUSIONS: When analyzing the articles in the internet databases and search engines, a lack of research in this area was observed in Poland. This should prompt further analyses and attempts to undertake them in terms of the country. This will enable improvement of the image of the specialization and an increase in interest in psychiatry among students, as well as the full use of places in the specialization.

WSTĘP: Rosnąca liczba osób zmagających się z zaburzeniami psychicznymi negatywnie wpływa na niestabilną sytuację kadrową wśród lekarzy psychiatrów zarówno w Polsce, jak i na świecie. Celem pracy było określenie i zgrupowanie czynników wpływających na wybór specjalizacji z psychiatrii przez studentów medycyny na świecie. METODY: Przeszukano zasoby pięciu internetowych baz danych i serwisów (PubMed, Base, Embase, Google Scholar, ResearchGate) z okresu 2014–2022, wykorzystując następujące słowa kluczowe w języku angielskim: „psychiatry”, „career choice”, „medical student” oraz „attitude to psychiatry”. WYNIKI: Do ostatecznej analizy zakwalifikowano 21 publikacji. Większość z nich (n = 16) stanowiła opis wyni-ków badań wykorzystujących autorskie ankiety i narzędzia walidowane. Wyodrębniono cztery kategorie czyn-ników: osobowościowe i społeczne, związane z psychiatrią na studiach, wynikające z charakteru specjalizacji oraz wynikające z pracy z pacjentami leczonymi psychiatrycznie. Czynniki pozytywnie wpływające na wybór specjalizacji to uczestnictwo w zajęciach dodatkowych z psychiatrii oraz obecność osoby z zaburzeniami psy-chicznymi w otoczeniu studenta. Czynniki negatywne to stygmatyzacja zaburzeń psychicznych w społeczeń-stwie i towarzyszący temu negatywny wizerunek specjalizacji. WNIOSKI: Analizując artykuły naukowe w internetowych bazach danych i serwisach, zaobserwowano brak w Polsce badań w tym obszarze. Powinno to skłonić do dalszych analiz i próby podjęcia takich badań w kraju. Umożliwiłoby to poprawę wizerunku specjalizacji, wzrost zainteresowania psychiatrią wśród studentów, a także pełne wykorzystanie miejsc specjalizacyjnych.
