Why junior doctors don't want to become general practitioners

A number of studies suggest there is an over-supply of specialists and an under-supply of GPs in many developed countries. This paper looks at what incentives might help policymakers to address the unbalanced supply of doctors across specialties. It presents results from a discrete-choice experiment completed by a sample of 532 junior doctors in 2008 before they choose a specialty training program.
This paper is written by Peter Sivey, Anthony Scott, Julia Witt, Catherine Joyce and John Humphreys.
