醫師是最受重視的職業，負責生命延續與醫療照護，不僅要求學有專精，也希望仁心仁術，專業養成與倫理薰陶都深具社會責任與期待，醫師可說是身居大任，如此也彰顯醫師有別於其他職業的特殊性所在，探究「志為人醫」的動機能了解其中的價值觀，得知究竟是何等動機因素促使這些人願意以行醫作為畢生選擇。

本研究主要運用專為探究人心的Q方法進行探索性研究，Q方法兼具質化與量化的內涵，針對複雜卻又難以述說的心理意向，能系統性的加以表露。因此本研究特運用此新穎的方法探索「志為人醫」的動機。研究對象為台灣大學醫學系一、二年級生，以小樣本立意抽樣的方式進行研究，研究結果獲得4種動機類型，分別是:「職業價值取向」、「興趣研究取向」、「家世背景取向」、「長輩主導取向」，從中分析各類型主要的價值觀，用以了解醫學生選擇以行醫作為生涯發展的重要意涵，獲悉觀念看法也闢增醫界對於準醫師們了解的管道。
