Abstract
An important component of a person's life is making decision to train in a profession conditioned by and linked to certain factors with various degrees of importance for each individual, according to the possibilities, social conjuncture or aspirations. This research aimed at analysing the importance of factors that influenced the decision of 298 candidates who choose to be trained professionally as physical therapists at the universities in Eastern Romania, during Summer 2016. The subjects with their voluntary involvement were inquired by a 12-item questionnaire before the admission examination. The results present tendencies that do not allow any generalisation, but emphasis on certain factors considered when choosing the profession. To conclude in Eastern Romania, for 2016 main admission, the determining factors were living near the university, the advice of friends and family and the desire to help people. For these three categories, the statistical analysis has shown high values.
