MedTrack: Ireland's Medical Career Tracking Study
Overview of survey process and GDPR compliance
|
|
This longitudinal tracking study is researching the specialty and career choices of Irish medical graduates. It is being carried out by the RCSI Health Workforce Research Group, funded by Ireland’s health research funding agency – the Health Research Board (HRB).
All Final Med students were invited to participate in the baseline survey, 18 months ago. Now, all interns are being invited to participate in the second survey.
The purpose of MedTrack is to generate a solid evidence base on specialty and career choices, and on the experiences of interns, with a view to improving working conditions, training and career opportunities for NCHDs in Ireland.
