Recent calls for increased transparency from dermatology residency programs have revealed important opportunities, particularly including information on program websites. One piece of information that may especially benefit applicants assessing potential training programs is the program's mission statement. From August 9, 2022, to August 21, 2022, the websites of all ACGME-accredited dermatology residencies were examined to investigate the use and content of mission statements. Statements were categorized based on inclusion of mission, vision, virtue/value, aims, and goals. A total of 133 out of 143 dermatology programs (93.0%) were included. Overall, 46.15% of programs used at least one of the five mission statement categories on their websites, while 53.85% used none. Programs used the category "mission" (39.85%) most, and "vision" (3.01%) least. There was overlap in word choice across categories. The word "care" was among the top four words used in every category. Other words to appear frequently across multiple categories included "dermatology" (4/5), "residents" (3/5), "knowledge" (2/5), and "provide" (2/5). Other top words included "clinical" in the mission category, "advanced" and "leaders" in the vision category, "excellence" and "diversity" in the value/virtue category, and "patient" and "professional" in the objective category. Explicitly stating residency program missions may not only help programs plan more effectively, but also help applicants who may be undecided about which programs best align with their career goals.
最近，皮肤科住院医师培训项目要求提高透明度，这揭示了一些重要的机会，尤其是包括在项目网站上的信息。对于评估潜在培训项目的申请人来说，可能特别有益的一条信息是项目的使命陈述。从 2022 年 8 月 9 日至 2022 年 8 月 21 日，检查了所有 ACGME 认证的皮肤科住院医师培训计划的网站，以调查使命陈述的使用和内容。根据是否包含使命、愿景、价值观/美德、目标陈述来对陈述进行分类。共有 133 个（93.0%）皮肤科项目被纳入研究。总体而言，53.85%的项目在其网站上使用了五个使命陈述类别中的至少一个，而 46.15%的项目则没有使用。项目在网站上最常使用的类别是“使命”（39.85%），而最少使用的是“愿景”（3.01%）。各个类别之间存在用词重叠。在每个类别中，“护理”都是使用最多的前四个词之一。其他在多个类别中频繁出现的词包括“皮肤科”（4/5）、“住院医师”（3/5）、“知识”（2/5）和“提供”（2/5）。其他的高频词包括使命类别的“临床”、愿景类别的“先进”和“领导者”、价值观/美德类别的“卓越”和“多样性”，以及目标类别的“患者”和“专业”。明确陈述住院医师培训项目的使命不仅可以帮助项目更有效地计划，还可以帮助那些可能对哪个项目最符合他们的职业目标犹豫不决的申请人。
