Members invited to take survey on specialty choice satisfaction

ACP is giving members access to a survey instrument currently in use in the United Kingdom that proposes the best and worst fits of medical specialties based on responses to a questionnaire regarding professional and personal preferences.

The survey is being piloted in the U.S. by the Acculturation Program of the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) to determine whether the metrics used in the U.K. are equally valid for physicians in the U.S. This can only be done by gathering responses from large numbers of U.S. physicians who are already in various specialties. Your participation is voluntary and free of cost. To learn more about the project and how to participate, send an email including your name and medical specialty to acculturation@ecfmg.org.
