Final-year medical students' competence profiles according to the modified requirement tracking questionnaire.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Undergraduate medical education is supposed to equip medical students with basic competences to select any specialty of their choice for postgraduate training. Medical specialties are characterized by a great diversity of their daily work routines and require different sets of competence facets. This study examines the self-assessed competence profiles of final-year undergraduate medical students and their specialty choice for postgraduate training. Students' profiles, who wish to choose anaesthesiology, internal medicine, or paediatrics, are compared with the physicians' competence profiles from these three disciplines.

Methods

In this study, 148 volunteer final-year undergraduate medical students completed the modified requirement-tracking (R-Track) questionnair
