Upon their graduation young doctors start a working life that is very interesting, challenging and rewarding; they can finally bring into practice what they have been studying for many years.

How to advance further in their careers? Which specialty to choose? This is paralleled with a period of considerable change in their private lives, such as balancing between family and career.
