We examined the incidence of resume fraud among urology residency applicants by determining the rate of misrepresented publications listed in applications to a urology residency program.
Applications from all 147 urology residency applicants to a program from the 2007 application cycle were analyzed. Verification of listed publications was attempted by querying PubMed, Google Scholar and MEDLINE. Univariate analysis was conducted to assess associations between unverifiable publications and applicant demographics.
Of the applicants who submitted publications 19% (14 of 71) had at least 1 unverifiable publication, which represented 9% (14 of 147) of the entire applicant pool. There were no statistically significant associations between misrepresented publications and applicant demographics.
Applicants had a low but still unacceptable rate of misrepresented publications and this trend in academic medicine is of great concern.
通过确定泌尿外科住院医师培训计划申请中列出的虚假出版物的比例,来检查泌尿科住院医师申请人简历造假的发生率。
分析了 2007 年申请周期中所有 147 名泌尿科住院医师培训申请人的申请。通过查询 PubMed、Google Scholar 和 MEDLINE 尝试对列出的出版物进行核实。进行单变量分析以评估无法核实的出版物与申请人特征之间的关联。
在提交出版物的申请人中,19%(71 人中的 14 人)至少有 1 篇无法核实的出版物,这代表整个申请人群体的 9%(147 人中的 14 人)。在虚假出版物与申请人特征之间没有统计学上显著的关联。
申请人的虚假出版物比例虽然较低,但仍不可接受,这种学术医学中的趋势令人非常担忧。
