The number of residents beginning training in internal medicine continued to increase slightly in 1985-86. However, the total number of residents in internal residency training decreased slightly from the previous year due to a decrease in the number of second- and third-year residents. The proportion of first-year residents who were foreign-trained physicians decreased from 21% to 20%, and the proportion of residents who finished training and went on to subspecialty training in 1985 decreased substantially to 56%. The number of physicians entering residency and fellowship training in internal medicine considerably exceeds the number projected by the Graduate Medical Education National Advisory Committee. In this article, we discuss implications of these trends for medical education and practice.
1985 - 1986年，开始接受内科培训的住院医师人数继续略有增加。然而，由于二年级和三年级住院医师人数减少，内科住院医师培训的总人数比上一年略有下降。第一年住院医师中外国培训医生的比例从21%降至20%，1985年完成培训并继续接受专科培训的住院医师比例大幅降至56%。进入内科住院医师和专科培训的医生人数大大超过了研究生医学教育全国咨询委员会预测的人数。在本文中，我们讨论了这些趋势对医学教育和实践的影响。
