Article Synopsis
- The study explores factors influencing final-year medical students' decisions to pursue a career in general practice in Belgium, amidst a noted shortage in the field.
- Results showed that only 29.3% of 142 participating students preferred general practice, citing misconceptions like routine work and loneliness, while 76.6% reported a change in perspective during their education.
- The study concludes that interactions with role models and peers significantly shape these perceptions, suggesting the need for more positive exposure to general practice in medical training.
Introduction: People with substance use disorder (SUD) deal with stigmatization in various areas of life, including healthcare system. In this study, we investigated the attitudes of final-year medical students towards SUD people and attempted to understand their influence.
Methods: We conducted a two-stage cluster analysis (hierarchical ascending classification followed by K-means clustering) based on the "beSAAS".
