Revealed: the specialty with the happiest registrars
Does getting paid more make a difference to trainees?
Obstetrics and gynaecology registrars appear to be the happiest among hospital-based specialist trainees, a new Australian study has found.
A research team has drawn on seven years of data from the Medicine in Australia: Balancing Employment and Life (MABEL) survey to determine factors associated with work satisfaction among trainee doctors.
More than 3500 registrars were asked: “Taking everything into consideration, how do you feel about your job?”
They responded using a five-level Likert scale: “very satisfied”, “satisfied”, “neutral”, “dissatisfied” and “very dissatisfied”.
