Onady, Alice A.; And Others

Journal of Medical Education, v63 n3 p162-70 Mar 1988

Medical students at Wright State University School of Medicine were asked to rate specialties as most and least stressful, to indicate whether they considered stress to be favorable or unfavorable, and to complete instruments measuring stress. There was no significant association among high stress and choice of least stressful specialties. (Author/MLW)
