To analyze the link between the rank at the national pharmacy residency examination and the choice of pharmacy specialty for hospital residency-admitted French pharmacy students.
Examination ranks as well as the pharmacy residency specialty to which residency candidates are finally admitted were collected for all students (n=1948) having successfully passed the national French pharmacy residency examination over the period 2013-2016. Students were categorized by their pharmacy specialty for residency, i.e., "Medical Biology" (n=591), "Hospital Pharmacy" (n=1175) and "Pharmaceutical Innovation and Research" (n=182), and medians of examination ranks as well as limit ranks (the rank of the last admitted postulant) by specialty were compared.
Examination ranks for pharmacy residency-admitted students were found to significantly differ according to the nature of the specialty in which students were finally admitted. "Medical Biology" has the lowest examination ranks (and appears thus as the most selective specialty), followed by "Hospital Pharmacy" and ended by "Pharmaceutical Innovation and Research", that has the highest examination ranks (and appears thus as the least selective specialty). Limit examination ranks were additionally shown to discriminate university hospitals in which residents were assigned.
Specialty choice for hospital residency-admitted French pharmacy candidates is closely associated with their rank at the national pharmacy residency examination, which can be assumed as reflecting their academic level. By this way, an implicit hierarchy of French pharmacy residency specialties according to the academic level of postulants can likely be drawn.
分析法国医院住院药房实习学生在全国药房住院医师考试中的排名与药房专业选择之间的联系。
收集了2013 - 2016年期间成功通过法国全国药房住院医师考试的所有学生（n = 1948）的考试排名以及最终被录取的住院药房实习专业。学生按其住院药房实习专业分类，即“医学生物学”（n = 591）、“医院药房”（n = 1175）和“药物创新与研究”（n = 182），并比较了各专业考试排名的中位数以及极限排名（最后一名被录取考生的排名）。
发现根据学生最终被录取的专业性质，住院药房实习学生的考试排名存在显著差异。“医学生物学”的考试排名最低（因此似乎是最具选择性的专业），其次是“医院药房”，最后是“药物创新与研究”，其考试排名最高（因此似乎是最不具选择性的专业）。此外，极限考试排名还显示出对分配住院医师的大学医院具有区分作用。
法国医院住院药房实习考生的专业选择与其在全国药房住院医师考试中的排名密切相关，这可以被认为反映了他们的学术水平。通过这种方式，可能可以根据考生的学术水平绘制出法国药房住院医师专业的隐含等级。
