We aimed to compare the performance at the Examen Nacional de Aspirantes a Residencias Médicas (ENARM) of the five direct-entry surgical specialties, and between Mexicans and International medical graduates (IMG).
This study was cross-sectional, used historical data from the annual public report of the ENARM during 8 years (2012-2019). We compare the minimum (MinSco) and maximum (MaxSco) scores of each specialty using ANOVA. Mexican versus IMG scores were evaluated with independent student t-test, trends with Spearman's correlation coefficient and a 5-years forecasting trend.
There was a significant difference among the MinSco for five surgical specialties; F (4, 78) = 24.586, p ≤ 0.001; the global mean of MinSco was 72.572; specialties above this mean were ophthalmology, otorhinolaryngology, and general surgery. The global mean for MaxSco was 81.559, two specialties were above: ophthalmology, and general surgery. We did not find a significant difference in the MinSco between Mexicans and IMG, but significance was found in the MaxSco between both groups.
ENARM represents a market of high-performance test-takers across the surgical specialties. Mexicans and IMG achieved similar entrance scores, but Mexicans showed a higher MaxSco over IMG in all surgical specialties.
我们旨在比较五个直接进入外科专业的医学住院医师预备考试(ENARM)的表现,并比较墨西哥人和国际医学毕业生(IMG)之间的差异。
本研究为横断面研究,使用了 8 年来(2012-2019 年)ENARM 年度公共报告的历史数据。我们使用方差分析比较了每个专业的最低(MinSco)和最高(MaxSco)分数。使用独立学生 t 检验评估了墨西哥人与 IMG 之间的分数差异,使用斯皮尔曼相关系数评估了趋势,并进行了 5 年的预测趋势分析。
五个外科专业的 MinSco 存在显著差异;F(4,78)=24.586,p≤0.001;MinSco 的全球平均值为 72.572;高于平均值的专业有眼科、耳鼻喉科和普通外科。MaxSco 的全球平均值为 81.559,有两个专业高于平均值:眼科和普通外科。我们没有发现墨西哥人和 IMG 之间的 MinSco 存在显著差异,但在 MaxSco 方面,两组之间存在显著差异。
ENARM 代表了各个外科专业中表现出色的考生市场。墨西哥人和 IMG 获得了相似的入学分数,但在所有外科专业中,墨西哥人在 MaxSco 方面的得分均高于 IMG。
