The increased interest in residency programs nationwide has made the application process more competitive and complex.
In 2015, Wake Forest Baptist Health (WFBH) created a resident-led residency preparatory series (RPS) to assist advanced pharmacy practice experience (APPE) students in preparing for residency applications. This study sought to evaluate the perceived value of the resident-led RPS by fourth year APPE students.
This single-center, survey-based, descriptive study aimed to evaluate the perceived impact of a resident-led RPS. All APPE students during the 2016-2017 and 2017-2018 academic years who completed rotations in the Triad region of North Carolina were invited to participate in the RPS. Surveys were sent to eligible students and data was captured for respondents who indicated an interest in pursuing residency and attendance to at least one RPS. Survey questions evaluated satisfaction with the RPS. Survey data was collected and analyzed using Qualtrics.
A total of 84 students were invited to attend the RPS. Thirty-three respondents participated in the RPS and indicated an interest in applying for a residency. The resident-led RPS was consistently well received by the majority of students over the course of two years, with over two-thirds of all respondents finding every session extremely or very useful. The majority of students agreed or strongly agreed with all confidence statements.
A resident-led RPS resulted in positive student perceptions and increased confidence in the residency application process.
全国范围内对住院医师培训项目的兴趣增加,使得申请过程更具竞争性和复杂性。
2015年,维克森林浸礼会医疗中心(WFBH)创建了一个由住院医师主导的住院医师培训预备系列课程(RPS),以帮助高级药学实践经验(APPE)学生准备住院医师培训申请。本研究旨在评估四年级APPE学生对由住院医师主导的RPS的感知价值。
这项基于调查的单中心描述性研究旨在评估由住院医师主导的RPS的感知影响。邀请了在2016 - 2017学年和2017 - 2018学年期间在北卡罗来纳州三角地区完成轮转的所有APPE学生参加RPS。向符合条件的学生发送调查问卷,并收集表示有兴趣申请住院医师培训且至少参加过一次RPS的受访者的数据。调查问题评估了对RPS的满意度。使用Qualtrics收集和分析调查数据。
共有84名学生被邀请参加RPS。33名受访者参加了RPS并表示有兴趣申请住院医师培训。在两年的时间里,由住院医师主导的RPS一直受到大多数学生的好评,超过三分之二的受访者认为每一次课程都极其有用或非常有用。大多数学生对所有信心陈述表示同意或强烈同意。
由住院医师主导的RPS使学生产生了积极的看法,并增强了他们在住院医师培训申请过程中的信心。
