Abstract

Background

There are few reports about the perceptions of the regional quota called Chiikiwaku medical students and graduates.

Method

Eighty-four medical students and 41 graduates were enrolled in A prefecture. The questionnaire comprised 22 items scored on a 7-point Likert scale, focusing on perceptions of merit and demerit of Chiikiwaku. The data were collected online.

Results

Chiikiwaku students scored higher on an item such as ‘regional quotas are a solution to the doctor shortage’. Chiikiwaku graduates felt more burdened than Chiikiwaku students.
