title: [Status of the job market of physicians who started their education in Groningen in 1982 and 1983].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To determine the working experience and desires of doctors, who started their medical training approximately 10 years ago.
  
  
  METHODS
  Telephone inquiry.
  
  
  METHODS
  University of Groningen, the Netherlands.
  
  
  METHODS
  In the summer of 1993, 98% of medical graduates who started their training at the University of Groningen in 1982 of 1983 were questioned about working experience and wishes for the future.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Over 70% worked as medical assistants in hospitals; most of them were not (yet) in training. Almost all male subjects and 4 out of 5 female subjects worked full time. Half of them wished to keep a full time job (two-thirds of the men, one-third of the women).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  When all working desires would be fulfilled, the future work time per doctor would be 86%. There is a great need for specialist training places.
