ABSTRACT:
Background: During their studies, obstetrics students have their own expectations and attitudes for career development. Today, this process is largely determined by the ongoing reforms in health care, the national economic and political environment, the labor market and the current epidemiological situation.
Aim: To study the attitudes and expectations of students majoring in “Midwife” regarding their future professional development and career development.
Material and methods: an anonymous survey of first to fourth year students majoring in Obstetrics at the Medical Faculty of the Thracian University - Stara Zagora. The results are processed with reliable mathematical and statistical methods and give grounds to draw the appropriate conclusions.
Results: It was found that students have different preferences for their future careers in a sector of the health system and obstetric care. The share of those wishing to study in master’s programs after their basic education is significant. Most of the future midwives would be realized in Bulgaria.
Keywords: midwives, attitude, professional realization, career development,
