De wensen van assistent-geneeskundigen in opleiding tot internist met betrekking tot werkweek, deeltijdarbeid, carrièreduur en vestigingsvorm

– To investigate the wishes and ideas about length of working week, parttime work, length of career and future kind of establishment, a questionnaire was sent to all Dutch registrars of internal medicine. In the opinion of more than 70 percent of the registrars, the length of a fulltime working week of an internist should be less than 50 hours. Of all registrars (62 men and 38 women), 68 would decide in favour of parttime work if the length of a fulltime working week of an internist were to remain at about 68 hours (common length of a working week of Dutch internists nowadays). 33 would still like to work parttime when the length of a fulltime working week became as they desired (about 47 hours). The preferred length of their career was for most registrars less than 30 years. The majority preferred a tenure to a position in a partnership. In conclusion, the wishes about the future of the registrars of internal medicine differ markedly from the current situation.
