Data derived from the 1983-1988 administrations of the American Society of Clinical Pathology Residents In-Service Examination (PRISE) are presented. Data indicate an increase in participation by U.S. and Canadian pathology residency training programs (from 55% in 1983 to approximately 90% in 1988). Demographic data reflect an increase in the proportion of foreign medical graduates (from 24.8% in 1983 to 32.8% in 1988) in U.S. training programs with concomitant decrease in proportion of U.S. medical graduates (from 74.8% to 61.5%, respectively). Canadian residents comprise approximately 5% of the test population. Response surveys from residents and program directors indicate a high degree of satisfaction with the PRISE. In 1988 40.6% of all program directors thought that the PRISE satisfied their objectives very well, and 56% thought that objectives were met satisfactorily. For residents the corresponding rates were 21.2% and 70.7%. Trends in resident group performance in each subspecialty area of pathology, and the implications for residency training are discussed.
本文展示了1983 - 1988年美国临床病理学会住院医师在职考试（PRISE）的数据。数据显示，美国和加拿大病理学住院医师培训项目的参与率有所上升（从1983年的55%升至1988年的约90%）。人口统计数据反映出，在美国培训项目中，外国医学毕业生的比例有所增加（从1983年的24.8%升至1988年的32.8%），而美国医学毕业生的比例相应下降（分别从74.8%降至61.5%）。加拿大居民约占测试人群的5%。来自住院医师和项目主任的反馈调查表明，他们对PRISE高度满意。1988年，所有项目主任中有40.6%认为PRISE很好地实现了他们的目标，56%认为目标得到了满意实现。对于住院医师而言，相应的比例分别为21.2%和70.7%。本文还讨论了病理学各亚专业领域住院医师群体表现的趋势以及对住院医师培训的影响。
