We developed a standardised three page questionnaire and uploaded it for online response . We recruited respondents through newspaper advertisements , the NepalNews internet site , social networks , and personal contacts . If no response came through internet or email , we used phone interviews to complete questionnaires . Questionnaire data included each doctor 's class number , birthplace , place of high school , and pre - medical training ( paramedical or intermediate science ) ; spouse 's birthplace ; postgraduate work history , current practice location , and postgraduate degrees ; perceived personal factors influencing career practice location ; and contact information for classmates .
