title: Career characteristics of canadian family medicine residents.
abstract: A questionnaire was distributed to first-year residents entering all family practice programs in Canada for the years 1966-1973. The content of the questionnaire elicited information on a number of demographic and career choice variables.The analysis of career choice data indicated a trend toward salaried or institutional employment in comparison with similar data from medical students. Full-time involvement in teaching or research is low; however, the majority of residents indicated a desire to pursue both as a minor part of their career.
