Abstract
Background
Over the past years, choice of specialization in Anaesthesiology and intensive care has become more popular in Spain among medical students. We designed a survey to study this trend, assessing theoretical knowledge and factors which participated to the choice of anaesthesia, among first-year residents in the region of Madrid.
Methods
A survey was designed to evaluate the background, exposure to anaesthesia during medical school training, and motivation, followed by a test of knowledge based on 15 multiple choice questions. The questions were proposed to the seventy residents of the Madrid Autonomous Region who started their training program in 2022.
Results
60/70 (85,7%) residents answered the survey. Only 58,3% of respondents had studied in Madrid and 98,3% had chosen anaesthesia as their first option. During their medical degree, 65% of them had received theoretical lectures in anaesthesia and 66,7% did a clinical rotation. Choosing to specialize in Anaesthesiology was influenced by doing clinical rotations (p < 0,001), but not by receiving lectures (p = 0,88). When asked about the main reasons for selecting anaesthesia, the variety of technical skills available had influenced 76,7% residents, the width of knowledge 75% and the career opportunities 73,3% of residents. The median score for the knowledge test reached 13/15 of correct answers.
Conclusion
Most of our first-year residents did a clinical rotation during their medical degree and were exposed to their future specialty, which oriented their choice. When considering anaesthesia as a choice, technical skills was the most influencing factor.
