Abstract

Objective To investigate the status quo and the influencing factors of medical students' expected income. Methods Based on the data from the 2020 China medical students survey, 136 367 medical students from 107 colleges participated in the study. Descriptive analysis, Wilcoxon rank-sum test, Kruskal-Wallis test, and Tobit regression were used to analyze possible influencing factors. Results Medical students' expected monthly income was 5 000 (2 500); Tobit regression showed that higher income was more attractive to males (b=0.104, P<0.001), 8-year program students (b=0.183, P<0.001), those ranked top 25% in scores (b=0.056, P<0.001), those from urban areas (b=0.014, P<0.001), those from wealth families (b=0.147, P<0.001), those had strong extrinsic motivation (b=0.022, P<0.001) and those from double first-class colleges (b=0.128, P<0.001). Higher income was less attractive to those whose parents are also doctors (b=-0.030, P<0.001), those satisfied with school career counseling and guidance services (b=-0.044, P<0.001). Conclusions Medical students had reasonable expectations of future incomes. Their expected income is associated with students' personal characteristics, family characteristics, motivation to study medicine and career counseling and guidance services in colleges and universities.
