Doctors' Careers - Aims and Experiences of Medical Graduates (Hardcover)

The training, employment, and career movement of doctors is of fundamental concern to all those working in and administrating the National Health Service and private medicine within Britain and around the world. "Doctors' Careers" makes available to a wide readership, in one volume, the results of a comprehensive survey of mdical choices and career progress of doctors qualifying from British medical schools during a decade, from 1974 to 1983. No other survey of this kind has been carried out over a prolonged period of time.

The data has important implications for medical staff planning,
