Abstract
Introduction and aimsPrevious studies have shown that there is decreasing interest in E&N among medical students. The aim of our study was to evaluate the perception of E&N among a sample of medical students. Material and methodsWe surveyed 2252 students prior to taking the exam that allows access to specialised training in Spain. ResultsOverall, 9.9% (222 participants) would probably choose E&N. The most positive aspects in includes of the specialty are its logical pathophysiological basis (54%) and that the work is dynamic and varied (27%), while the least attractive aspects are the few interventional techniques. The parts of the specialty that most attract students are hypothalamic–pituitary disease and diabetes mellitus. ConclusionsThe proportion of candidates who want to study E&N as their first choice is adequate in relation to the number of places available.
