Training duration, intellectual challenge, doctor-patient relationship, and financial aspects are key drivers for choosing anesthesiology among Moroccan medical residents.
May inform anesthesiology recruitment strategies among residents; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before guiding policy.
Objective: To determine factors influencing anesthesiology choice among resident doctors at the medical school of Marrakech. Materials and Methods: We have conducted a descriptive cross-sectional study based on an anonymous questionnaire. Results: A total of 406/672 questionnaires were returned, with a female/male sex ratio of 1.07. The duration of the training (OR: 3.3; CI 95%: 1.74 - 6.23; p < 0.001), intellectual challenge (OR: 3.02; CI 95%: 1.69 - 5.37; p < 0.001), doctor-patient relationship (OR: 2.22; CI 95%: 1.02 - 4.84; p: 0.04), and financial aspects (OR: 2.14; CI 95%: 1.09 - 4.21; p: 0.02) were independent factors that influenced the choice of anesthesiology. Conclusion: we recommend the succeeding: 1) Support students in their choice; 2) Correct misconceptions about certain specialties; 3) Promote clinical clerkship; 4) Encourage mentorship; 5) Increase the salary of at-risk specialties.

Hachimi et al. (2022) conducted a cross-sectional in Career choice in anesthesiology (n=406). Duration of training was evaluated on Independent factors influencing the choice of anesthesiology (OR 3.3, 95% CI 1.74-6.23, p=<0.001). Duration of training (OR 3.3), intellectual challenge (OR 3.02), doctor-patient relationship (OR 2.22), and financial aspects (OR 2.14) were independent factors influencing anesthesiology choice.
