The German healthcare system is currently facing a shortage of doctors. Trends of emigration abroad and into non-curative fields, as well as the trend towards the feminization of the medical profession, are exacerbating this development. Doctors are increasingly choosing to exit patient care. To maintain high-quality medical care in the future, the causes of this trend must be uncovered. The opinions of young medical professionals are particularly significant in this context. What needs to change for today's medical graduates to find a career in curative medicine desirable? How do young doctors experience their work reality, and how do they evaluate their former career aspirations from today's perspective? These and other questions have been discussed by the author Christina Zimprich with six young medical professionals, and the results have been systematically analyzed. The book is aimed particularly at health scientists and those working in the healthcare sector.
