I want to say "My parents want me to be a doctor" in Japanese. My attempt is
as follows but I am not quite sure whether it is correct or not.

> 両親は私を医者にならせたがっています。

Or

> 両親は私に医者になって欲しがっています。

Any comments and suggestions are really welcome.

How to say "My parents want me to be a doctor" in Japanese?
Both 両親は私を医者にならせたがっています and 両親は私に医者になって欲しがっています are grammatically correct, but
in practice, people don't say either. I'd recommend, as seafood258 says,
両親は私が医者になることを望んでいる or, if you ignore minor difference, …医者にならせたいようだ /
…医者になってほしいようだ.
