With the goals of creating a better match between medical students and general surgery programs and providing a program that is desirable to medical students who are interested in pursuing careers in surgery, a survey was designed to categorize student interests and to determine what factors are used in choosing a general surgery program. The survey focused on the reasons that surgical resident candidates select a program. Each statement was rated for importance on a 5-point scale, and then the top 10 statements were ranked in order of importance. The survey was distributed to 19 community hospitals, 23 university programs, and medical students interviewing for surgical residency. A total of 286 surveys were returned from 18 programs and medical students. The statements with the three highest ratings were "amount of operative exposure," "diversity of operative cases," and "perceived relationships among faculty and residents." "Amount of operative exposure," "diversity of operative cases," and "ability to pursue fellowship training after residency" received the top rankings. There was a significant difference between men and women in the ratings of three statements. However, there was no difference with the ranking of the statements. There was also a significant difference between residents early and late in their training on ratings of five statements and on the ranking of two statements. The ratings of six statements were significantly different between community and university programs. A significant difference between types of program was also found with the rankings of four statements. There was a difference between small and large programs on two ratings of statements and one ranking. This data provides a useful resource for programs and candidates in preparing for candidate/residency selection.
为了使医学生与普通外科项目更好地匹配，并为有志于从事外科职业的医学生提供一个理想的项目，设计了一项调查，以对学生兴趣进行分类，并确定在选择普通外科项目时会考虑哪些因素。该调查聚焦于外科住院医师候选人选择项目的原因。每条陈述按5分制评定重要性，然后将排名前十的陈述按重要性排序。该调查分发给了19家社区医院、23个大学项目以及正在参加外科住院医师面试的医学生。共收到来自18个项目和医学生的286份调查问卷。评分最高的三条陈述是“手术操作机会”“手术病例的多样性”以及“师生和住院医师之间的关系”。“手术操作机会”“手术病例的多样性”以及“住院医师培训后继续深造的能力”排名靠前。在三条陈述的评分上，男性和女性之间存在显著差异。然而，在陈述的排名上没有差异。在培训早期和晚期的住院医师之间，在五条陈述的评分以及两条陈述的排名上也存在显著差异。社区项目和大学项目在六条陈述的评分上存在显著差异。在四条陈述的排名上，项目类型之间也存在显著差异。在两条陈述的评分和一条陈述的排名上，小型项目和大型项目之间存在差异。这些数据为项目和候选人在准备候选人/住院医师选拔时提供了有用的参考。
