What's the difference?

What's the difference, if any, between
彼は医者になることを決心した。
彼は医者になる決心をした。
彼は医者になろうと決心した。
?

Are they interchangeable?

Thanks a lot. :)

The first two are about the same, as far as I know. The last one isn't making sense to me yet, but it might be a grammar pattern I haven't learned.

Hi, nobep.

There is no great difference between these three for me; I'm Japanese.
