Abstract

This study was conducted to study the job interest and job value of medical freshmen. The job interest test and job value test by the Korea Employment Information Service of the Ministry of Employment and Labor were conducted on 149 medical freshmen enrolled in a medical school at 2019 and 2020. Among six types of job interest, investigative type was most suitable for the medical freshmen, followed by realistic type, enterprising type, social type. Among 13 types of job values, job stability, body and mind space, recognition, and financial compensation were higher values than the others in order. We expect that this result will be helpful to establish the career identity of medical students, and to construct the system of curriculum or counseling programs for career developing of them.
