  1. **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001
  2. GP = general practitioner; CS = chief specialist; SHO = senior house officer; Res/PP = research work, teaching, private practice, administration, public health officer, and other occupation/leave
  3. 1 One-way ANOVA showed a significant difference between GP-GP and each of the other groups (except Res/PP-Res/PP, only n = 9) (F = 8.10, p < 0.001)
  4. 2 At T2 a one-way ANOVA showed a significant difference between GP-GP and each of the other groups (except Res/PP-Res/PP) (F = 4.31, p < 0.001)
  5. ~ Except SHO
  6. □Here the largest groups are: research work/teaching to CS (n = 8), CS to private practice (n = 5), public health officer to GP (n = 4), public health officer to CS (n = 4), and research to SHO (n = 4)
