Infectious diseases now(2023)
摘要
OBJECTIVES:This study evaluated the social representation and stereotypes on infectious disease (ID) specialists among medical students and physicians in France after the COVID-19 pandemic.
METHODS:A survey applying the hierarchical evocation model assessed the social representations (SRs) of ID specialists.
RESULTS:All in all, 372 answers were analyzed. The positive elements related to the personal and professional qualities of ID specialists ('intellectual prestige", "open-mindedness"), in contrast with negative stereotypes related to their perceived daily life and practice characteristics ("hospital-based", "intense", "overspecialized"). Variables such as "I would not have chosen (or I won't choose) ID after the national ranking exam" and "I know someone who is an ID specialist" were associated with worse SR scores (p < 0.001 and p = 0.022 respectively).
CONCLUSIONS:These findings provide insights into the attractiveness of ID as a specialty. Rounds in ID departments may enhance the interest of the specialty as a possible residency choice.
