Abstract

In Germany, an increasing shortage of medical doctors has developed in recent years. Today, many clinics must compete to attract qualified MDs. In this study, 60 medical students, 60 doctors working in psychiatry, and 60 doctors working in somatic fields of clinical medicine were interviewed in order to analyse the importance that potential applicants place on the information and offers contained in advertisements seeking medical doctors. In this regard, good working atmosphere in the ward, excellent opportunities for further education, and assistance from nonmedical personnel in documentation and administration got the highest ratings. There were significant differences between psychiatrists and other doctors rating the items "own office" and "permission to take additional nonhospital jobs" such as providing medical opinions. The study shows how advertisements can be improved.
