During a two-month period from August I to Septemder 30, 1971, surveys were conducted on the 125 health center directors throughout the country in order to study general matters concerning their personal background and performance of duty. Through the analysis of the survey result, the following conclusion has been reached:
1) The average age of the country health center directers was 36.2 years with a deviation of ±13.8 years, and that of those in cities with a deviation of ±11.1 years, thereby averaging 36.7 years with a deviation of ±13.2 years as a whole.
2) The average number of family members of the country health center directors was 5.5 persons with a deviation of ±2.5 persons, and that of those in cities 5.1 persons with a deviation of 2.2 per-sons, thereby averaging 5.4 persons with a deviation of ±2.4 persons.
3) By category of licenses, the number of health directors were broken down into 80.0 per cent for regular medical college graduates, 8.8 per cent for professional school graduates, and 10.4 per cent for professional school graduates, and 10.4 per cent for those licensed through qualifications.
4) The average length of service of incumbent health center directors was 17.4 months for regular medical college graduates, 28.5 months for professional school graduates, and 56.1 months for those licensed through qualification examinations. Their average of service as a whole was 22.3 months.
5) Sixty seven incunmbent health center directors or 53.6 per cent of the total number wished to serve in their current positions for one year or less.
6) Fifth nine of incumbent directors or 47.2 per cent wished to be employed overseas while 18.4 per cent wished to practice medicine at their own clinics and 12.8 per cent wished to work with hospital.
7) As for their motivation to work as health center directors, 51 of them or 40.8 per cent chose their current positions because they were "interested in public health service" while 50 of them or 40.0 per cent simply wanted to "discharge the government-imposed obligation prerequisite to their overseas employment."
