Medical student faculty advisors are charged with providing students the best possible information and advice regarding residency selection and how to increase their likelihood of matching into the program of their choice. Given the lack of clear and consistent processes for ranking residency applicants, medical student advisors will benefit from better insight into the perspectives of family medicine residency (FMR) faculty.
This study was designed to increase understanding of the perceptions of FMR faculty in evaluating and ranking medical student applicants. We surveyed all FMR programs in the United States and Puerto Rico. Program directors, or their designees, were asked to provide basic program characteristics and then to either agree or disagree with various advising statements medical school faculty might say to students applying to FMR programs.
Of the 24 items in the survey, consensus among programs was reached for only seven.
These results, especially given the current climate of an increasing number of applicants for a nearly stable number of residency training slots, clearly support the need for enhanced communication and collaboration between family medicine student advisors and residency educators.
医学生的教师顾问负责为学生提供有关住院医师培训项目选择的尽可能最佳信息与建议，以及如何提高他们匹配到心仪项目的可能性。鉴于在对住院医师申请人进行排名时缺乏清晰且一致的流程，医学生顾问若能更好地洞察家庭医学住院医师培训（FMR）教员的观点将有所助益。
本研究旨在增进对FMR教员在评估和排名医学生申请人方面看法的理解。我们对美国和波多黎各的所有FMR项目进行了调查。项目主任或其指定人员被要求提供项目的基本特征，然后对医学院教员可能对申请FMR项目的学生所说的各种建议性陈述表示同意或不同意。
在调查的24项内容中，各项目仅在7项上达成了共识。
这些结果，尤其是考虑到当前申请人数量不断增加而住院医师培训名额数量几乎稳定的情况，明确支持了家庭医学学生顾问与住院医师教育工作者之间加强沟通与协作的必要性。
