Hasil: Response rate sebesar 96,6% (743 responden). Nilai Intraclass Correlation Coeficient (ICC) pada total nilai sebesar 0,941, menunjukkan konsistensi internal yang baik. Pada uji validitas diskriminan, komponen motivasi nilai dan motivasi karir kelompok responden pra-klinik tidak terdapat perbedaan signifikan (p > 0,05). Pada tiga kelompok responden, klinik memiliki nilai rerata tertinggi pada validitas diskriminan untuk bagian motivasi tinggi sebesar 67,27, diikuti kelompok praklinik sudah IPM sebesar 65,89, diakhiri dengan kelompok pra-klinik belum IPM sebesar 62,54. Nilai rerata total komponen motivasi tertinggi (65,31) ditunjukkan oleh kelompok klinik.
