Abstract

Objectives: A focus group interview (FGI) was conducted in medical students and training doctors to explore the reasons for their choice of training hospital, the needs of training courses, and other issues, in order to improve the training curriculum and increase the number of training doctors in Yamaguchi prefecture.Methods: We conducted FGI in 11 medical students (two groups) at Yamaguchi University and 10 training doctors (two groups) at one training hospital in Yamaguchi prefecture. The main questions included the reasons for choosing their training hospital and problems with medical education at the university.Results: As important issues for choosing the training hospital, the interviews explored the acquisition of primary care skills, unrestricted courses, attachment to their hometown, liveliness of training doctors, and enthusiasm of teaching doctors. Problems with education at the university included differences in enthusiasm and quality of education between departments, lack of enthusiasm and time of teaching doctors and staff, poor communication and atmosphere, and inequity in education.Conclusions: Our FGI suggested that establishment of a curriculum enhancing primary care, capacity building of teaching doctors, standardization of education programs, decreased work load of university staff doctors, and the attitude of educators and teaching doctors are critical to make hospitals attractive to medical students and training doctors.
