<p dir="ltr">This dataset contains the de-identified, response-level survey data (n=47) and analysis code underlying the manuscript "Medical student perceptions of ophthalmology as a career in an era of rising competition: a cross-sectional survey," submitted to PLOS ONE.
Description
Data were collected via an anonymous, voluntary online survey of medical students conducted between 20 February and 4 March 2023, examining perceptions of ophthalmology across nine domains (including lifestyle, prestige, clinical variety and training pathway) and perceived deterrence from rising specialty competition ratios.
No identifying information was collected at any stage. The dataset includes participant demographic and exposure variables, Likert-scale item responses, and free-text comments (redacted of any potentially identifying detail), along with the Python analysis script used to generate all reported statistics.</p>
