title: Job satisfaction in Aberdeen medical graduates of 1969--73.
abstract: In a postal follow-up study of five annual cohorts of Aberdeen medical graduates, respondents (88% of those approached) were asked how satisfied they were with their jobs 4--5 years after qualifying. Eight out of ten males and seven out of ten females appeared to be content with their jobs, the proportion being rather higher among those in or training for general practice. Reasons for good job satisfaction tended to be different among those in training for hospital medical careers compared to general practice.
