摘要

Background? Little is known about the advice fourth-year medical students receive from their advisors as they prepare to apply for residency training.;Objective? We collected information on recommendations given to medical students preparing to apply to internal medicine residencies regarding fourth-year schedules and application strategies.;Methods? Clerkship Directors in Internal Medicine conducted its annual member survey in June 2013. We analyzed responses on student advising using descriptive and comparative statistics, and free-text responses using content analysis.;Results? Of 124 members, 94 (76%) responded, and 83 (88%) advised fourth-year medical students. Nearly half (45%) advised an average of more than 20 students a year. Advisors encouraged students to take a medicine subinternship (Likert scale mean 4.84 [1, strongly discourage, to 5, strongly encourage], SD = 0.61); a critical care rotation (4.38, SD = 0.79); and a medicine specialty clinical rotation (4.01, SD = 0.80). Advisors reported they thought fourth-year students should spend a mean of 6.5 months doing clinical rotations (range 1–10, SD = 1.91). They recommended highest academic quartile students apply to a median of 10 programs (range 1–30) and lowest quartile students apply to 15 programs (range 3–100). Top recommendations involved maximizing student competitiveness, valuing program fit over reputation, and recognizing key decision points in the application process.;Conclusions? Undergraduate medical advisors recommended specific strategies to enhance students' competitiveness in the Match and to prepare them for residency. The results can inform program directors and encourage dialogue between undergraduate medical education and graduate medical education on how to best utilize the fourth year.;What was known and gap Few studies have explored the content of guidance that students receive as they navigate the residency application process.;What is new Key advisor recommendations for fourth-year medical students planning to apply to internal medicine programs.;Limitations Use of advisors' self-report of advising, not students' perceptions of advice received.;Bottom line Frequent recommendations included maximizing student competitiveness, valuing residency program fit, and recognizing key decision points in the application process.;Introduction The transition period from student to resident is a critical juncture bridging undergraduate medical education and graduate medical education. Residency program directors (PDs) expect entering interns to possess specific skills, and medical schools are tasked to guide students fulfilling diverse career paths and to prepare them for residency. Yet, viewpoints differ on how best to structure the final year of medical school. Some PDs desire strengthening of practical skills,1 some call for its truncation,2 and others encourage individualized exploration of research, service, or other areas.3,4 Medical students use the fourth year to master skills needed for residency, to fulfill personal needs, and to explore topics and practice settings.5 They may use this time to increase their chances of succeeding in an increasingly competitive Match.5–10 Such strategies could include applying to a larger number of programs, doing “away” rotations at desired programs, or performing well in key rotations. Little is known about the advice fourth-year medical students receive from their advisors. Understanding the nature of this advice could contribute to improving dialogue between undergraduate medical education and graduate medical education on this critical transition period. The purpose of this study was to describe recommendations given to medical students in their preparation to apply to internal medicine residencies, and in the navigation of fourth-year schedules and residency application strategies. Comparing results to known PD attitudes may be a first step in efforts to maximize the efficacy of the fourth year, and to a
