To examine the factors impacting postgraduate year 1 (PGY1) residents' self-perceived readiness for residency.
A total of 1801 residents who matched in American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP)-accredited PGY1 programs were e-mailed individualized invitations to take an online survey. The survey collected self-ratings of readiness for residency training competencies including time management and organization, foundational knowledge, clinical practice, project management, and communication.
Data from 556 completed surveys were analyzed. Residents agreed they were ready to perform activities requiring time management and organization (median = 4, mean = 4.08), foundational knowledge (median = 4, mean = 3.83), clinical practice (median = 4, mean = 3.67), and communication (median = 4, mean = 4.05). Residents who completed at least 1 academic advance pharmacy practice experience (APPE), 5 clinical APPEs, or held a bachelors degree felt more confident than their counterparts in regard to project management (P < .001, <.001, and .01, respectively).
PGY1 residents generally felt prepared for time management and organization, foundational knowledge, and communication residency training competencies. This was significant for those who completed 1 or more academic APPEs, 5 or more clinical rotations, or a bachelors degree. Study results may assist pharmacy schools in preparing students for residency training, prospective resident applicants in becoming more competitive candidates for residency programs, and residency program directors in resident selection.
探讨影响一年级住院医师（PGY1）自我感知的住院医师培训准备情况的因素。
向总共1801名匹配进入美国卫生系统药师协会（ASHP）认证的PGY1项目的住院医师发送个性化电子邮件邀请，让他们参加在线调查。该调查收集了住院医师培训能力准备情况的自我评分，包括时间管理与组织、基础知识、临床实践、项目管理和沟通。
对556份完成的调查问卷数据进行了分析。住院医师们一致认为他们已准备好开展需要时间管理与组织（中位数 = 4，平均数 = 4.08）、基础知识（中位数 = 4，平均数 = 3.83）、临床实践（中位数 = 4，平均数 = 3.67）以及沟通（中位数 = 4，平均数 = 4.05）的活动。在项目管理方面，完成至少1次学术进阶药学实践经验（APPE）、5次临床APPE或拥有学士学位的住院医师比未完成的同行更有信心（P分别 < .001、<.001和.01）。
PGY1住院医师总体上感觉已为时间管理与组织、基础知识以及沟通方面的住院医师培训能力做好准备。对于完成1次或更多学术APPE、5次或更多临床轮转或拥有学士学位的住院医师而言，这一点尤为显著。研究结果可能有助于药学院为学生的住院医师培训做好准备，有助于未来的住院医师申请人成为更具竞争力的住院医师项目候选人，也有助于住院医师项目主任进行住院医师选拔。
