Needs and wishes of Gen Z medical students: a prospective cross sectional single center study
This study reveals how Gen Z medical students have a different mindset to their work than students from earlier generations did, with distinct visions of their professional future. As a result, employers and medical educators face new expectations and demands from their staff and students. To meet the needs of Gen Z students, medical teaching methods must be rethought and adapted as necessary.
