The 2023 United States infectious diseases (ID) fellowship match resulted in a large percentage of programs with unfilled positions. A survey was sent to ID program directors nationwide to better understand their perceptions on the match. Program directors perceived geography, a small applicant pool, and low specialty pay as contributing factors to the match results. Developing specialized fellowship tracks, increasing funding for the ID trainee pipeline, and national advocacy for higher compensation were identified as areas to focus on to increase the applicant pool. Areas of controversy, such as decreasing the number or size of fellowship programs, require further discussion.
2023 年美国传染病(ID)研究员职位匹配结果显示,大量项目有空缺职位。我们向全国 ID 项目主任发送了一项调查,以更好地了解他们对匹配的看法。项目主任认为地理位置、申请人数量少和专科薪酬低是导致匹配结果的因素。确定了一些需要关注的领域,包括开设专门的研究员课程、增加 ID 学员管道的资金投入以及为提高薪酬进行全国性倡导,以增加申请人数量。减少研究员项目的数量或规模等有争议的领域需要进一步讨论。
