Abstract
Of 146 pre-registration house officers in 1972 who answered an enquiry about career preferences, 111 were written to again in 1974. The enquiry yielded 101 comparisons, out of which 65 doctors retained their original first choice of career, 15 opted for their previous second or third choice and 21 gave a completely new first choice. Reappraisal of abilities, additional experience of the new choice of career and additional knowledge of promotion prospects were the commonest reasons given for change of career choice.
