Abstract
The news that physicians tend to work abroad in recent years in Turkey, the frequent occurrence of violence in healthcare, the dissatisfaction of physicians and the news of resignation have prompted the Ministry of Health and led to some regulations known as 'White Reform' in the society. We aimed to investigate the impact of these reforms on the career plans of final-year medical students, medical residents, and doctors who have graduated in the last 5 years. A descriptive study was planned, and a survey form created by researchers was used to reach the target audience. Data from 561 doctors and medical students were evaluated. The majority of doctors viewed the reforms positively, but it was determined that they were not implemented at the desired level in terms of application and adequacy. The impact of the reforms on career plans was seen primarily among intern doctors. The most common goal in terms of career plans was to work as a specialist physician.
