This study searches for association between the subject of medical students' required research projects and subsequent choices of residency, focusing specifically on women's health fields.
Students at our school graduating between 1997 and 2004 (n = 535) were required to undertake a research project beginning in the preclinical years. The subject of their required research project was related to their subsequent choice of residency.
Ninety-nine of the 535 projects (18.5%) were women's health related. Although overall there was no significant relationship between the research project and residency choice, students who completed a women's health care project were nearly twice (1.8, 95% CI, 1.4-2.3) as likely to enter a women's health (obstetrics and gynecology or family medicine) residency than those who did not.
An association exists between student participation in women's health research beginning during preclinical years and the subsequent choice of a women's health residency.
本研究旨在探寻医学生必修研究项目的主题与后续住院医师培训选择之间的关联，特别关注女性健康领域。
我校1997年至2004年间毕业的学生（n = 535）从临床前阶段开始就被要求进行一项研究项目。他们必修研究项目的主题与后续住院医师培训的选择相关。
535个项目中有99个（18.5%）与女性健康相关。尽管总体而言，研究项目与住院医师培训选择之间没有显著关系，但完成女性健康护理项目的学生进入女性健康（妇产科或家庭医学）住院医师培训的可能性几乎是未完成此类项目学生的两倍（1.8，95%可信区间，1.4 - 2.3）。
临床前阶段开始参与女性健康研究的学生与后续选择女性健康住院医师培训之间存在关联。
