This study examines the statistical relationship between potential influencing factors and the rank that prospective intern applicants assigned to Boston City Hospital in the National Internship and Residency Matching Program. Types of factors examined include personal considerations, the applicant's experience during the personal interview, hospital attributes, the academic program itself, and perceived house officer experience. A brief questionnaire was mailed to prospective interns ranked by the Department of Medicine. Analysis of questionnaire data indicates that personal reasons and two hospital characteristics, ancillary staff and type of hospital, were predominant influencing factors.
本研究考察了潜在影响因素与在全国实习与住院医师匹配计划中申请实习的人员给波士顿市医院所排等级之间的统计关系。所考察的因素类型包括个人因素、申请人在个人面试中的经历、医院属性、学术项目本身以及对住院医师经历的认知。一份简短的问卷被邮寄给了按医学系排名的准实习生。对问卷数据的分析表明，个人原因以及两个医院特征，即辅助人员和医院类型，是主要的影响因素。
