Motivating Factor

Aims To investigate the motivations for, and perceived benefits of, undertaking senior house officer (SHO) posts, and to explore the career pathways of those who do, examining trends in successive cohorts. Method Postal cross-sectional questionnaire survey of all dental and maxillofacial SHOs (DF2s) who had worked for two South London hospitals within the previous nine years (n=137). Respondents were grouped into three cohorts to enable responses to be examined in relation to respondents’ entry to their first SHO post. Results There were responses from 83 (61%) potential participants. The most frequent motivation for carrying out SHO posts from 79 (95%) of the respondents was the desire to ‘learn from experienced clinicians’. The most common perceived benefit reported by those who had completed posts at the time of the survey was ‘an improved understanding of the role of the hospital dental service’ from 68 (97%) of those who answered this question. Difficulty in securing a job in general dental practice was not reported as a notable motivating factor, either before or after the implementation of the new dental contract. ‘Fulfil approved training post requirements for postgraduate examinations’ reduced as a motivator from 28 (88%) for the earlier cohort of SHOs to nine (36%) for the more recent cohort. Fifty-four of 78 (69%) respondents declared a definite plan to seek admission to the General Dental Council Specialist Lists in future, 24 (83%) in the first cohort, compared with 11 (46%) in the last ( P=0.05). Of the males, 13 (52%) were significantly more likely to report that they were currently working in general practice compared with 15 (27%) females ( P=0.028). Conclusion The findings suggest that multiple benefits are identified from undertaking SHO posts. However, some of the motivations for undertaking SHO posts may have changed over the nine-year period investigated. Possible influences are discussed. This paper highlights the perceived benefits of junior training posts at a time of significant transition within the profession.

Physician Time

The less physician time spent on routine well child care, the better. The growing demand for child health services without concomitant addition of manpower is forcing pediatricians to focus on tasks which require their unique talents and delegate those which do not to others. Surely medical school and house officer training do not (and should not) prepare one to serve as arbiter of what brand of shoes to purchase, the technique of rinsing diapers, or the correct temperature of bath water.

If you are a medical student, house officer, or practicing physician, unversed in human genetics but wanting a quick orientation, then this may be the book for you. It is brief, inexpensive, and gratifyingly up-to-date. In the 5 years since the first edition of this small book, there have been many important developments in human genetics—the use of hybrid cells for genetic analysis, the discovery of multiple structural genes for the Y chain of Hgb F, appreciation of the frequency of the XYY syndrome, the use of amniocentesis for antenatal diagnosis, and so forth.
