Article Abstract
This study aimed to compare medical students' satisfaction with their choice of the medical field in their fifth year to their first year of MBBS and to compare speciality choices and career plans between public and private medical students. It was an online survey conducted from December 2020 to April 2021. Two consecutive classes of final-year medical students from five medical schools (2 public and 3 private) were included. They were asked about their satisfaction with the medical profession, intentions to practice abroad, intended speciality, and career plans in the final year and the first year of medical school via a 24-item semi-structured pre-piloted questionnaire. Of 468 responses (34.41% response rate), 331 (70.7%) were females. There was a significant change (p = 0.002) in the intention of students to practice abroad, however, no significant change (p=0.11) in their satisfaction with the medical profession was observed. Key Words: Career choices, Medical students, Medical schools, Personal satisfaction, Pakistan.
