This study included 1,416 graduates from the four medical schools in Norway, during the period 1978-81. The purpose was to determine which factors potentially influence choice of specialty. There were some differences in choice of specialty between physicians from different universities. Choice of specialty also varied with sex, age, and examination performance. Female physicians took no more time than their male colleagues did to become specialists. It is also concluded that the quality of the undergraduate teaching of the different specialties had little or no impact on future choice of career.
