Although criteria are available to guide the selection of general internal medicine (GIM) fellowship programs, the factors actually used in this process are unclear. Using a survey of current GIM fellows, we determined that most received information from their residency advisors, and many viewed them as the most important source of fellowship information. Program location was the top selection factor for fellows, followed by research opportunities, availability of a mentor, and the reputation of the program. This information may be useful to both fellowship candidates as an additional selection guide and to program directors seeking to best structure and market their fellowships.
尽管有标准可用于指导普通内科(GIM)专科培训项目的选择,但在此过程中实际使用的因素尚不清楚。通过对现任GIM专科培训学员的调查,我们确定大多数人从住院医师导师那里获得信息,并且许多人将导师视为专科培训信息的最重要来源。项目地点是学员的首要选择因素,其次是研究机会、是否有导师以及项目的声誉。这些信息对于专科培训候选人作为额外的选择指南以及对于寻求优化其专科培训项目结构和进行推广的项目主任而言可能都有用。
