    Abstract:
    Young doctors find it difficult to cope with the doctor's role. Socialization to the doctors role starts at medical school. In this survey 225 students at the University of Oslo were asked to assess the extent of their identification with the role of doctor when working in the emergency ward and in ordinary hospital wards. The process of identification progressed while the students worked in the emergency ward, but not when they worked in the ordinary wards. To promote adherence to the doctor's role it is necessary to define the roles, responsibilities and duties of the students in ordinary wards, and there should be a progression in what is expected of the students from an early stage to a later stage of the clinical curriculum. The role of the students must become well-defined in the ordinary hospital wards.
