Health care staff ’ perceptions of a career in family medicine

Abstract

Background:The choice of medical specialty is a critical decision for Health care staff, influenced by various factors such as lifestyle preferences, professional aspirations, and job satisfaction. Despite the strong link between robust primary care systems and improved health outcomes, many countries face a shortage of primary care physicians. This shortage is exacerbated by an aging healthcare workforce and declining interest in primary care specialties among Health care staff  . Understanding the factors that influence specialty choice is essential for addressing these shortages and promoting primary care careers.
