AbstractPre-registration house officers who answered enquiries in 1973 and 1974 about career preferences were written to again in 1976. This yielded 205 comparisons, in which 134 (65.5%) doctors retained their original first choice of career, thirty-five (17%) opted for their previous second or third choice and thirty-six (17.5%) gave a completely new choice. The most common reasons for a change in career choice were reappraisal of aptitudes and abilities, altered domestic circumstances, additional knowledge of promotion and career prospects and additional experience of the new choice of career.
