Abstract

Purpose: We descriptively and comparatively evaluated the comprehensiveness of Canadian and US-accredited ophthalmology residency program websites as of August 28, 2024.

Methods: Using Canadian Resident Matching Service (n = 15) and US Fellowship and Residency Electronic Interactive Database (n = 125), we assessed website content across seven criteria: recruitment, faculty, residents, education/research, teaching, benefits, and community. Two independent reviewers used a 40-point system, with Kruskal-Wallis and post-hoc pairwise tests for analysis by country and funding model.

Results: US programs more frequently had highly comprehensive websites than Canadian programs (US: 74.4%, Canada: 40%). Canadian programs mostly achieved moderate comprehensiveness (Canada: 60%, US: 22.4%). Larger program size and US origin were significantly linked to higher comprehensiveness scores (p < .01).

Conclusion: Our findings suggest that US-based, larger programs offer more extensive online resources. We recommend standardized guidelines to improve residency program website transparency and accessibility for medical learners.

加拿大与美国眼科住院医师计划网站的综合评价与比较。

目的：对截至2024年8月28日加拿大和美国认可的眼科住院医师培训项目网站的全面性进行描述性比较评价。方法：使用加拿大居民匹配服务（n = 15）和美国奖学金和居民电子互动数据库（n = 125），我们评估网站内容的七个标准：招聘、教师、居民、教育/研究、教学、福利和社区。两名独立审稿人使用了一个40分制系统，采用Kruskal-Wallis和事后两两检验对国家和资助模式进行分析。结果：美国的课程比加拿大的课程更频繁地拥有高度综合的网站（美国：74.4%，加拿大：40%）。加拿大的课程大多达到了中等的综合性（加拿大：60%，美国：22.4%）。更大的项目规模和美国原籍与更高的综合得分显著相关(p结论：我们的研究结果表明，美国的、更大的项目提供更广泛的在线资源。我们推荐标准化的指导方针，以提高住院医师计划网站的透明度和医学学习者的可访问性。
