It was previously shown that applicants for postgraduate medical specialist training in Denmark were old. In order to prevent potential shortage of specialists, the Danish health authorities have passed legislation to speed up the output of new specialists. The aim of this study was to highlight the present characteristics of young doctors who entered specialist training.
Data include 443 doctors who were enrolled in a formalized postgraduate medical training programme in the Region of Southern Denmark from 2009 to 2011.
41% of the recruited young doctors were men and 59% were women. The average age for doctors recruited for residency training was 35 years and the average time from graduation to initiation of specialist training (candidate age) was 70 months. If foreign graduates were excluded, the average age was 34 years and average candidate age was 58 months. 6% of the recruited doctors had a PhD. 61% of the doctors were graduates from the University of Southern Denmark. 14% graduated from the University of Copenhagen and 12% from Aarhus University. Finally, 13% graduated from a foreign university.
Applicants accepted for specialist training are becoming younger at a faster rate than the new legislation can explain. The gender distribution seems to have been stable for more than a decade. The number of doctors who had a PhD seemed low; however, there was a variation between specialties.
此前的研究表明，丹麦申请医学专科研究生培训的人员年龄较大。为防止专科医生可能出现短缺，丹麦卫生当局已通过立法以加快新专科医生的培养。本研究的目的是突出进入专科培训的年轻医生的当前特征。
数据包括2009年至2011年在丹麦南部地区参加正规医学研究生培训项目的443名医生。
招募的年轻医生中41%为男性，59%为女性。招募进行住院医师培训的医生的平均年龄为35岁，从毕业到开始专科培训的平均时间（报考年龄）为70个月。如果排除外国毕业生，平均年龄为34岁，平均报考年龄为58个月。6%的招募医生拥有博士学位。61%的医生毕业于南丹麦大学。14%毕业于哥本哈根大学，12%毕业于奥胡斯大学。最后，13%毕业于外国大学。
被接受进行专科培训的申请者年轻化的速度比新立法所能解释的要快。性别分布在十多年间似乎一直稳定。拥有博士学位的医生数量似乎较少；然而，不同专科之间存在差异。
