A total of N=30 (24%) students answered yes to considering a career in obstetrics and gynaecology in the pre-placement questionnaires, N=40 (32%) did not want to pursue a career in obstetrics and gynaecology and N=56 (44%) were unsure. A total of N=41 (34%) of the students answered yes to considering a career in obstetrics and gynaecology, N=41 (34%) answered no and N=38 (325) were unsure.

Seven focus groups were conducted with four to seven students in each group giving a total of N=39 medical students. Data saturation was achieved following the seventh focus group.
