Our residency program experienced applicants who actively misrepresented qualifications, background, or abilities. The experiences of other family practice residencies were unknown. This study 1) determined what information family practice residency directors required from applicants, 2) assessed whether this information was confirmed or verified, and 3) describes the deceptive application information discovered by program directors.
A questionnaire was sent to directors of all accredited family practice residencies. Information was collected about required information, data confirmation, and the deception and misrepresentation perceived.
Thirty-two percent of the directors responded. Eight of 13 items on the Electronic Residency Application System were designated as required by more than half of responding directors. Only two of the items (licensure and certain facts in the personal statement) were confirmed by a majority of directors who required them. Deception was recognized by nearly half of respondents within the past 5 years. Most cases involved specialty choice or the personal statement of candidates and were recognized during the interview or by direct confirmation of data.
Most directors appear to accept application information at face value. Recognition of deception about application information was reported. Misrepresentation by applicants may be a more common event than previously realized and may require more thorough verification of application credentials.
我们的住院医师培训项目遇到过一些申请人故意虚报资历、背景或能力的情况。其他家庭医学住院医师培训项目的情况尚不清楚。本研究1）确定家庭医学住院医师培训项目主任要求申请人提供哪些信息，2）评估这些信息是否得到确认或核实，3）描述项目主任发现的虚假申请信息。
向所有经认可的家庭医学住院医师培训项目主任发送了一份问卷。收集了有关所需信息、数据确认以及所察觉到的欺骗和虚假陈述方面的信息。
32%的主任回复了问卷。电子住院医师申请系统上的13项内容中有8项被超过半数回复的主任指定为必需信息。在要求提供这些信息的主任中，只有两项（执照和个人陈述中的某些事实）得到了大多数主任的确认。近半数受访者在过去5年中发现过欺骗行为。大多数案例涉及专业选择或候选人的个人陈述，并且是在面试期间或通过直接核实数据时发现的。
大多数主任似乎是照单接受申请信息。有报告称发现了有关申请信息的欺骗行为。申请人的虚假陈述可能比之前意识到的更为常见，可能需要对申请资质进行更彻底的核实。
