Abstract

The residency examination represents a defining stage in the career of Romanian physicians, marking the transition from graduate status to that of a resident doctor. The present study analyzes residency both as a standardized examination and as a personal decision, drawing on empirical data collected from three questionnaires: students (N=87), graduates/residents (N=23), and employers (N=7). The results reveal that the choice of a medical career is predominantly vocationally motivated, that there is a perceived gap between theoretical training and labor market expectations, and that migration remains a viable option for graduates. The paper integrates empirical findings with the specialized literature concerning the condition of medical residents and current educational policies.
