Abstract	Objective: To explore the relationship between medical students’ career calling and learning engagement. Methods: A convenience sampling survey was conducted on medical students from one medical college in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and one in Hunan Province, People's Republic of China, using the Career Calling Scale and the Learning Engagement Scale. Results: The total score of career calling and its dimensions were significantly positively correlated with the total score of learning engagement and its dimensions. After controlling for relevant demographic variables, regression analysis showed that career calling significantly and positively predicted learning engagement. Among the dimensions, guiding force showed the strongest predictive effect, followed by altruistic contribution, whereas meaning and value demonstrated relatively lower explanatory power. Conclusion: Career calling is an important factor influencing medical students’ learning engagement. Enhancing medical students’ career calling may help promote higher levels of learning engagement.
