Abstract	With a predicted shortage of junior doctors, especially in general medicine and surgery, we were interested to find out (a) what factors affect medical students or graduates when choosing their specialty and if a medical school has the means to influence this choice, (b) how the elective specialty for postgraduate training develops over the course of medical studies, (c) when medical students decide on the subject for their postgraduate training, (d) which specialties are mostly chosen and (e) if clerkships and the mandatory stages in the final year have an impact on the specialty choice. An extensive literature research of German and international literature shows that mentoring and positive role models are very important factors in choosing the specialty. Our own evaluation data from final-year students demonstrate that practical placements like clerkships and mandatory subjects in the final year play a decisive role in taking a mandatory subject into consideration for specialty training.
