To determine the benefit of a residency preparedness elective course and assess the ability of the course to provide students with the knowledge and experiences needed to competitively apply for residency programmes.
A pre-/postsurvey study on a 2-credit hour elective course for third-year pharmacy students. This course was designed to provide them with the knowledge and experiences needed to competitively apply for pharmacy residency programmes.
Students' perceptions of the elective course were captured through pre- and postcourse evaluations utilizing a 15-item survey. The main reasons students participated in this course was to gain a better understanding of the residency application process (median Likert score = 5; 1 = strongly disagree and 5 = strongly agree), develop interviewing techniques (5) and enhance clinical competency (5). By the end of the course, students felt more confident with their understanding of pharmacy residency programmes (4 versus 5, P = 0.002) and of the residency application process (2 versus 5, P = 0.001).
Upon completion of a pharmacy residency preparedness elective course, students felt more confident in their understanding and ability to apply for a residency programme.
确定住院医师培训准备选修课程的益处，并评估该课程为学生提供有竞争力地申请住院医师培训项目所需知识和经验的能力。
对面向三年级药学专业学生的一门2学分选修课程进行课前/课后调查研究。该课程旨在为他们提供有竞争力地申请药学住院医师培训项目所需的知识和经验。
通过使用一份包含15个项目的调查问卷在课程前后进行评估，来了解学生对该选修课程的看法。学生参加这门课程的主要原因是为了更好地了解住院医师培训申请流程（李克特量表中位数得分 = 5；1 = 强烈不同意，5 = 强烈同意）、培养面试技巧（5）和提高临床能力（5）。到课程结束时，学生对药学住院医师培训项目的理解（从4分提高到5分，P = 0.002）以及对住院医师培训申请流程的理解（从2分提高到5分，P = 0.001）更有信心。
完成药学住院医师培训准备选修课程后，学生对申请住院医师培训项目的理解和能力更有信心。
