Description
Maike Krauthausen and co-authors survey medical students on personality and interest in general practice, in this 2024 Europe PMC paper. Europe faces a shortage of general practitioners, worst in rural areas, and Germany's GP workforce is aging. Specialty choice depends partly on personality, measured here with the five-factor model.
An online survey at the University of Würzburg, running across several first-year cohorts, paired Big Five trait scores with career intentions. The study tests which traits, from openness to neuroticism, track with interest in general practice and with a stated plan to enter it. Findings are offered as one lever among several, alongside rural placements and curriculum design, for rebuilding the GP pipeline.
