CALLEJA-ARGUDO, Sergio et al. Why do medical graduates not want to be family doctors?. Rev Clin Med Fam [online]. 2023, vol.16, n.4, pp.338-343. Epub 04-Mar-2024. ISSN 2386-8201. https://dx.doi.org/10.55783/rcmf.160406.
Aim:
to ascertain the priority given to the choice of family medicine (FM) posts in Castilla-La Mancha (CLM) among resident intern competitive examination candidates in 2019 and 2022 who chose this autonomous community and the factors associated with this choice.
Methods:
this is an analysis of secondary data. The following was obtained from the Spanish Ministry of Health website about 1223 candidates: sex, nationality, score in the examination; total, competitive examination position, specialty and province chosen. Statistical analysis was performed with SPSS 25.0: descriptive statistics, comparison of proportions and medians and probability of FM post choice related to candidate order (Kaplan-Meier).
Results:
a total of 67.4% were women; 89% were Spanish; 29.1% chose FM. The median number selecting FM increased over the years: 7.106 (interquartile range [IR]: 6993.1-7218.9), 7.511 (RI: 7378.2-7643.7), 8159 (RI: 8036, 5-8281.5), 8821 (RI: 8551.2-9090.8), respectively from 2019 to 2022, with statistically significant differences (P<0.0001). The corresponding values for the other specialties did not reveal any statistically significant differences among the four years. However, they were statistically significantly lower (P<0.0001) than those for FM.
There were no differences by sex for choosing FM. Only in 2020 FM was chosen earlier in Albacete (P=0.037). There were no differences in the overall four-year period in regard to choice of province.
Conclusion:
FM posts in Castilla-La Mancha are chosen with high classification numbers from the resident intern entrance examinations. In recent years there has been a gradual delay in this choice.
