As a super-aged society, Japan may offer a valuable reference point. The number of medical residents and doctors working at university hospitals in Japan has halved since 2004, resulting in serious shortages of doctors in rural areas. This study clarified factors influencing medical students to choose university hospitals as facilities for their initial training or to only choose community hospitals.
Methods: This single-center cross-sectional study was conducted in a typical rural city in Japan from February to March 2021. Data were collected using a questionnaire developed from a narrative review and discussion among four researchers. The participants were divided into those who chose university hospitals and those chose only community hospitals for logistic regression analysis.
Results: Of the 300 students who answered the questionnaire (46.4% response rate), 291 agreed to participate in the study. At the time, 93 students had not decided where to undertake initial training, and were excluded. Of the 198 analyzed students, 113 (57.1%) had chosen university hospitals. Significant factors affecting students' choices were "good salary or fringe benefits" (odds ratio [OR] 2.6, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.3-5.2) in the community hospital group, and "desire to have contact with doctors practicing in a medical setting before starting hospital training in the fifth and sixth grade" (OR 0.4, 95% CI: 0.2-0.8) and "prefer Saga Prefecture for initial training" (OR 0.2, 95% CI: 0.1-0.4) among the university hospital group.
Conclusion: University hospitals could offer a good salary or fringe benefits to secure residents. Other useful measures include preferential admission of students who pledge to work in the prefecture of their medical school after graduation and facilitating contact between motivated students and senior doctors before starting hospital training.抄録：英語フィールド
