3 AGENDA Background & Research Gap Research Question Method Results Qualitative Study Quantitative Study Summary, Outlook & Practical Implications 3

4 Most Research On Non-Medical Population Mostly Non-Medical Population Research Self-Efficacy (e.g. Berweger & Keller, 2005; Spies & Schute, 1999; Estrada et al., 2011) Intrinsic Motivation/ Taste for Science (e.g. Roach & Sauermann, 2012) Academic Career Intentions/ Pursuit Role Models (e.g. Buddeberg-Fischer et al., 2009)

5 Which Factors Contribute to Physicians Academic Career Intention? Academic Career Intentions/ Pursuit

6 METHODS 6 AISBILDUNGSFORSCHUNG IN DER MEDIZIN

7 QUANTITATIVE ANALYSES WERE BASED ON LITERATURE AND QUALITATIVE RESULTS 7 LITERATURE Referring to Medical Students (Little) Not specific to field of study (More) Compare also Epstein et al. (2016) QUALITATIVE Structured Interviews with Participants of E-Prom Study 1: 16 Structured Telephone Interviews with Interview-guideline Content Analysis (Mayring, 2010) Predefined Coding Scheme 35 percent double coded Cohen s Kappa QUANTITATIVE E-Prom Study 1: Two Cohorts of Recent Medical Doctoral Graduates (Dr. med) Cohort 1: April 2013-April 2014; Survey: Mai-September Cohort 2: April 2014-April 2015; Survey: April-September

8 QUALITATIVE RESULTS 8 AISBILDUNGSFORSCHUNG IN DER MEDIZIN

9 Three Main Factors Were Identified in Qualitative Interviews THREE MAIN FACTORS WISH FOR PATIENT CONTENT A TASTE FOR SCIENCE Academic Career Intentions/ Pursuit SUPERVISOR

10 QUANTITATIVE RESULTS 10 AISBILDUNGSFORSCHUNG IN DER MEDIZIN

11 Several Factors Were Related to Academic Career Interest Objective Success Criteria Comparably Low Research Self-Efficacy Intrinsic Research Motivation Academic Career Intentions Work Orientation: Societal Recognition Legend: Results from multivariate regression analysis, variables with p<0.05, N=349 Work Orientation: Importance of Patient Care 11

12 Gender Differences Were Only Present in Self-Efficacy and Objective Success Criteria Female Male 1st author publications 33 % 41 % Co author publications 52 % 54 % Summa Cum 7 % 12 % Research Self- Efficacy

13 SUMMARY, PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS & OUTLOOK 13 AISBILDUNGSFORSCHUNG IN DER MEDIZIN

14 SUMMARY Research Self-Efficacy Objective Success During Doctorate Intrinsic Interest SUPERVISION Academic Career Interest/Pursuit Patient Focus

15 OUTLOOK ON FUTURE RESEARCH Role of work life balance in continued academic research career Self-efficacy Career success? (Via Self-Regulation) Why gender differences in research self-efficacy?

16 Influencing Research Self-Efficacy Can Be a Productive Approach Mastery Experience Research Content in Medical School Verbal Persuasion Supervisor Feedback/Encouragement Research Self- Efficacy Academic Career Intentions COMBINATION OF PATIENT CARE & RESEARCH Drop Out Research Activities
