Abstract
To identify career choices made by recent graduates of general preventive medicine residency programs, all funded residency programs in general preventive medicine (excluding federal and military programs) were surveyed. Eighty-two percent of programs responded and reported on the career choices of 241 graduates who graduated from 1981 to 1986. In order of preference, the categories of career choice were: program activities (36.5%), teaching (19.1%), clinical services (17.0%), and research (6.2%). About one-fifth (21.2%) chose other activities. The number of graduates more than doubled between the periods 1981-1983 and 1984-1986. There was a threefold increase in the percentage of graduates involved primarily in research; however, there was a 33% decrease in the percentage of graduates who became professional academicians.
