Abstract

Introduction: Our aim was to evaluate factors affecting the choices made by first-year dental and medical STUDENTS in Tabriz UNIVERSITY of Medical Sciences, IRAN.Methods: The subjects in the present descriptive cross-sectional study consisted of 104 first-year dental and medical STUDENTS in the UNIVERSITY in 2012‒2013. A questionnaire was given to the STUDENTS, which included demographic data and prioritization of MOTIVEs. In designing the questionnaire, nine items were taken into account including income, social status, owning a private office, serving the community, feasibility of working with the hands, self-regulation of working hours, an interest in the field, recommendation by the family and communication, and contact with community members. Data were analyzed with the Mann-Whitney U test using SPSS.Results: Enjoying a high social status was the most important factor (94.2%) in choosing dentistry as a major by dental STUDENTS. An interest in the field (88.2%) was the second factor in their selection of dentistry. Recommendation by the family and serving the community with a frequency of 50% and contact with community members with a frequency of 51% were the least important in choosing dentistry. A high social status (75%) was the most important factor in choosing medicine as a major by medical STUDENTS. A high income (73.1%) was the second factor in choosing medicine for them. Serving the community with 43.1% and the feasibility of working with the hands with 28.9% were the least important factors in choosing medicine.Conclusion: Dentistry and medicine are professions that still enjoy a high social status and most STUDENTS choose these majors in order to attain such status. Differences in MOTIVEs behind choosing a major by STUDENTS of these two fields are related to the nature of the professions.
