The authors studied how often applicants accept positions at more than one program, or programs offer positions to applicants who have already signed contracts with other programs.
An anonymous survey was distributed to all psychosomatic medicine fellowship program directors.
It is fairly common for applicants to sign contracts for fellowship positions and then back out of the contracts. Only one program reported ever knowingly offering a contract to an applicant who had accepted a position elsewhere. Programs are divided over whether there are extenuating circumstances under which it would be acceptable to offer a position to an applicant who has already signed a contract with another program.
Guidelines for fellowship programs that do not use the National Resident Match Program can improve the recruitment process.
作者研究了申请人接受一个以上项目或项目向已经与其他项目签订合同的申请人提供职位的频率。
对所有身心医学奖学金项目主任进行了匿名调查。
申请人签订奖学金职位合同后退出合同的情况相当普遍。只有一个项目报告说曾经故意向已经接受其他地方职位的申请人提供合同。各项目对于在何种特殊情况下向已经与其他项目签订合同的申请人提供职位是否可以接受存在分歧。
不使用全国住院医师匹配项目的奖学金项目指南可以改善招聘流程。
