The purpose of this study was to examine trends in the Psychiatry Resident-In-Training Examination (PRITE®) scores at one institution from 2001 to 2010. The authors hypothesized that two factors, the 2003 implementation of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) duty-hour restrictions and the residency program's 2008 restructuring of its curriculum to a half-day per week of didactics, would lead to improved scores.
Residents in the general psychiatry program at the University of Florida College of Medicine from 2001 to 2010 were included in this study. To examine the effect of the 2003 ACGME duty-hours change, the authors compared test results from 2001-2002 and 2003-2010. To examine the effect of the 2008 didactic restructuring, they compared test results from 2001-2007 and 2008-2010.
There were 288 PRITE test scores from 2001 to 2010. The authors did not find a statistical difference between test results before and after the 2003 implementation of ACGME duty-hour restrictions or between test results before and after the 2008 restructuring of residency didactics.
The hypothesis was rejected. The results of the literature review propose that examination scores are affected by other elements of residency training.
本研究旨在考察某一机构从 2001 年至 2010 年期间精神病住院医师培训考试（PRITE®）成绩的趋势。作者假设两个因素，即 2003 年实施的研究生医学教育认证委员会（ACGME）工时限制，以及住院医师课程于 2008 年改为每周半天的课程，将导致成绩提高。
本研究纳入了佛罗里达大学医学院普通精神病学项目的 2001 年至 2010 年的住院医师。为了检验 2003 年 ACGME 工时变化的影响，作者比较了 2001-2002 年和 2003-2010 年的考试成绩。为了检验 2008 年教学结构调整的影响，作者比较了 2001-2007 年和 2008-2010 年的考试成绩。
在 2001 年至 2010 年间，共有 288 项 PRITE 考试成绩。作者没有发现 ACGME 工时限制实施前后的考试成绩存在统计学差异，也没有发现住院医师教学结构调整前后的考试成绩存在统计学差异。
假设被拒绝。文献综述的结果表明，考试成绩受到住院医师培训的其他因素的影响。
