Previous research has identified five characteristics of medical schools that are related to the choice of family medicine as a specialty: (1) the amount of time devoted to required training in family medicine, (2) the timing of the required family medicine training, (3) the type of ownership of the school (public or private), (4) the geographic location of the school, and (5) the administrative structure of family medicine within the school. These five characteristics of U.S. medical schools during the mid-1980s, together with the school tuition levels, were examined with both univariate and multivariate analysis to observe their relationships to the percentage of U.S. medical graduates entering family medicine between July 1986 and December 1987. With univariate analysis, each characteristic was significantly related to the percentage of graduates entering family medicine. Using multivariate analysis, only the number of weeks required and the type of ownership of the school were significantly related to the percentage of graduates entering family medicine, with the higher percentages related to greater numbers of required weeks of family medicine training and to public ownership of the school.
以往的研究已经确定了医学院校的五个特征,这些特征与选择家庭医学作为专业有关:(1)用于家庭医学必修培训的时间量;(2)家庭医学必修培训的时间安排;(3)学校的所有制类型(公立或私立);(4)学校的地理位置;(5)学校内部家庭医学的行政结构。对20世纪80年代中期美国医学院校的这五个特征,连同学校学费水平,进行了单变量和多变量分析,以观察它们与1986年7月至1987年12月进入家庭医学领域的美国医学毕业生百分比之间的关系。通过单变量分析,每个特征都与进入家庭医学领域的毕业生百分比显著相关。使用多变量分析,只有所需的周数和学校的所有制类型与进入家庭医学领域的毕业生百分比显著相关,较高的百分比与更多的家庭医学培训所需周数以及学校的公立所有制有关。
