I'm a graduate student at Northwestern University and I'm doing research about prospective and current medical students feelings and attitudes towards military medicine.

I would greatly appreciate any and all of you who take a few minutes of your time to answer a quick online survey about this subject to make my research more insightful.

The survey is just 7 questions, followed some brief demographic information. To protect your privacy, the survey is completely anonymous.

Here's the link - http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=69600371997

Thanks for your help in advance. If you would be interested in providing additional insight beyond the survey, plese e-mail me through the site.

You should fix it such that the webpage doesn't jump to the top each time you pick an option. That way people would be more inclined to finish the survey.

No offense but you need to revisit this survey. It makes no sense. Do you realize it is disorganized.

To begin with, it seems to be designed only for Navy students - you need to say this at the outset.

Also:

4. When choosing your first job after graduation, how important are the following?

Signing bonuses
Free malpractice insurance
Adventurous lifestyle
Prestige
Gain more experience as soon as possible
To pick the location of your practice
To get the residency you desire

How can you choose a new practice BEFORE you have a residency? This makes no sense....there are several more of these impossible questions.

Also, the progression of questions follows no pattern - they are very random, questions designed for different subsets of the population.

It is crazy, maybe your advisor knows about this.

I guess this is your email.

Most of this data is already gathered by the AAMC, and the sample size includes almost all medical students. (required surveys at year 1 and year 4).
