This study examined the factors that influenced fifth and final year medical students at the University for Development Studies (UDS) preference for ENT specialization.  Methodology: A self-developed semi-structured electronic questionnaire was used to collect data. The study involved a total of 114 medical students. Results: The majority of the study participants were males (64.9%) and were between the 21-35 age bracket (91.2%) with a mean age of 28.20 ± 8.05. Comparatively, less than 1% and 15.8% of study participants indicated a preference for ENT specialty before and after the ENT clinical rotation respectively. Significant motivating factors for ENT preference included good income (p < 0.001), quality of life (p < 0.001), work not too demanding (p=0.030), personal liking (p= 0.027) and having ENT specialist as a role model (p =0.012). Having a family relation as a medical doctor was a predictor of ENT specialty preference (OR 0.001, 95 % CI =5.357E-6-0.361: p=0.020). Conclusion: The study demonstrated a very low preference for ENT career specialty among fifth and final year medical students in our setting. However, exposure during ENT clinical rotation greatly influenced their preference for a career in ENT.","PeriodicalId":493822,"journal":{"name":"Postgraduate Medical Journal of Ghana","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136059423","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
