Background. The motivation of this work is driven on the one hand from the need to understand the medical students’ attitude towards medical training in the context of the reform in Morocco and the creation of “family medicine” as a specialty. This study aims to explore the expectations of medical students regarding family medicine and to identify the factors that may influence setting their choices after graduation. Methods. We conducted a cross-sectional study among Moroccan medical students from public faculties during the month of August 2019. The data collection was based on an online self-administered electronic questionnaire. The quantitative data were analyzed by SPSS version 16. The analyses were descriptive univariate (Fisher’s test) and multivariate (binary logistic regression) with a value of 5%. The qualitative data were synthesized according to a thematic analysis grid. Results. The medical students in Morocco have a positive perception of family medicine as an important specialty but low interest in it as a future career. Only 6.4% had the intention to choose it as a future career. However, 27.5% chose to become a general practitioner if it is a specialty (family medicine, as part of the new medical reform). The factors associated with the choice of career in general practice were mainly the ambition for career development (OR = 4.8; 95% CI [2.46; 9.51]), income (OR = 2.6; 95% CI [1.11; 6.29]), or the personal experience as a student or patient in contact with a general practitioner (OR = 0.48; 95% CI [0.25; 0.92]). Conclusion. The practical experience with family medicine seems to have an important influence on being attracted to family medicine careerwise. The study findings will inform future planning to introduce the residency program.

摩洛哥医科学生的职业选择和对家庭医学的态度

背景。这项工作的动机一方面来自于在摩洛哥的改革和“家庭医学”专业创建的背景下，需要了解医学生对医学培训的态度。本研究旨在探讨医学生对家庭医学的期望，并找出可能影响毕业后选择的因素。方法。我们在2019年8月对来自公共学院的摩洛哥医学生进行了横断面研究。数据收集基于在线自我管理的电子问卷。定量数据通过SPSS 16版进行分析。分析为描述性单变量（Fisher检验）和多元（二进制Logistic回归），其值为5％。定性数据根据主题分析网格进行合成。结果。摩洛哥的医学生对家庭医学是一个重要的专业抱有积极的看法，但对它作为未来职业的兴趣却很低。只有6.4％的人打算选择它作为未来的职业。但是，如果有专业（家庭医学，作为新医学改革的一部分），则有27.5％的人选择成为全科医生。一般实践中与职业选择相关的因素主要是职业发展的抱负（OR = 4.8； 95％CI [2.46; 9.51]），收入（OR = 2.6； 95％CI [1.11; 6.29]），或与全科医生接触的学生或患者的个人经历（OR = 0.48； 95％CI [0.25; 0.92]）。结论。家庭医学的实践经验似乎对职业医学的吸引力产生了重要影响。研究结果将为将来的计划引入居住计划。
