The purpose of this study was to identify current demographic trends of orthodontic residents, their goals for the future, and their perspectives on orthodontic training.
A 26-item survey was conducted at the Graduate Orthodontic Residency Program (GORP) at Harvard University in August 2003. Questionnaires were distributed to residents representing 51 orthodontic programs (of 58 in the United States). Surveys were sent to 5 of the 7 programs whose residents did not attend GORP.
Of the 380 questionnaires distributed, 295 were completed and returned at the meeting for a 77% response rate. Additionally, 35 of the 50 mailed questionnaires were completed and returned, for a total response rate of 77% (330 completed/430 distributed). Most residents stated that clinical education was the most important factor when choosing a residency. Most residents planned to publish their research, complete American Board of Orthodontics certification requirements, and work 4 days a week after program completion.
Several trends were identified since orthodontic residents were last surveyed in 1992. The most significant change reported was an increase in the number of those who plan to complete American Board of Orthodontics certification requirements.
本研究的目的是确定正畸住院医师当前的人口统计学趋势、他们未来的目标以及他们对正畸培训的看法。
2003年8月在哈佛大学正畸住院医师培训项目（GORP）进行了一项包含26个项目的调查。问卷分发给代表美国58个正畸项目中51个项目的住院医师。调查问卷还发送给了7个项目中的5个，这些项目的住院医师未参加GORP。
在分发的380份问卷中，295份在会议上填写并返回，回复率为77%。此外，邮寄的50份问卷中有35份填写并返回，总回复率为77%（330份填写/430份分发）。大多数住院医师表示，临床教育是选择住院医师培训项目时最重要的因素。大多数住院医师计划发表他们的研究成果，完成美国正畸委员会的认证要求，并在培训项目结束后每周工作4天。
自1992年上次对正畸住院医师进行调查以来，发现了几个趋势。报告的最显著变化是计划完成美国正畸委员会认证要求的人数增加。
