Motives Influencing Arab Students’ Preference for Cardiology: A Cross-sectional Multicenter Study
Despite the high prevalence of cardiovascular diseases and the shortage of cardiologists, interest in cardiology among Arab students is promising, exceeding some global trends. Enhancing hands-on experiences, promoting cardiology rotations, and emphasizing cardiology's intellectual and practical aspects may further boost interest. Future research should investigate educational strategies to promote pursuing a career in cardiology.
