Chisquare test and logistic regression were used to test the association between deciding a future speciality and influencing factors. RESULTS: The most preferred specialties were radiology and ultrasound, gynaecology and obstetrics, surgery, internal medicine, dermatology and paediatrics. Clinical specialties were statistically rated higher than basic medical sciences specialties. Anticipated more abilities and ensuring future development of skills were ranked as the most influencing factors.
