Exploring Undergraduate Medical Students’ Perceptions and Career Choices in Obstetrics and Gynecology
While clinical exposure increased students' knowledge of OB/GYN, it did not significantly affect their interest in the specialty, likely due to concerns about work-life balance and the demanding nature of the field. The study underscores the need for reforms in OB/GYN training and practice environments to address these deterrents and improve recruitment into this essential specialty.
