Nature Versus Nurture: Resident Career Decisions in Emergency Medicine
We did not find a significant difference between program format and career plans. A minority of residents changed career plans during residency, and neither program length nor demographic factors were significantly associated with those changes. A proportion of residents begins training undecided about their career path, highlighting a potential role for early, structured career guidance.
