This research aimed to ascertain the choice of specialization among medical graduates and explore whether students hesitate in choosing pre and para clinical subjects for specialization and the reasons for the same. Methods: A cross sectional study was done at M.L.B Medical College, Jhansi in April-May 2024. Eighty participants were included in the study out of which, 68 were interns. A semi structured questionnaire was administered to them. Results: The mean age of participants was 25.38 ± 2.2 years, 60% were males, 37.5% were from a rural background, 60% had no doctor in the family. The present study shows 96% doctors want to specialize in clinical subjects specially Medicine, Dermatology and General Surgery. Only three students opted for pre and para clinical subjects. Conclusion: Medical graduates mainly want to opt for clinical subjects for post graduation. Doctors need counseling at the time of selecting their branch in which teachers and seniors can play a very important role. Importance and career options in pre and para clinical subjects should be known to doctors so that they can make an informed decision during counselling. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
