Abstract

This study explores medical training programs within community health centers (CHCs) and investigates the organizational and environmental factors associated with these programs. Using cluster analysis, we identified four distinct clusters based on the prevalence of physician, nurse, advanced practitioner, and medical assistant trainees in CHCs. These clusters reveal variations in the composition of trainees within CHCs, indicating diverse training and recruitment priorities. Our analysis of organizational and environmental correlates found significant associations between factors such as urban location, CHC size, and the percentage of other clinical trainee types with the distribution of clinical trainees. The insights gained from this study are crucial for advancing the ongoing development of CHC medical training programs, emphasizing the delivery of high-quality primary care, comprehensive training, and education while addressing workforce challenges in resource-limited settings.

社区卫生中心和医疗培训模式——解决卫生人力短缺的意义。

本研究探讨社区健康中心（CHCs）的医学培训计划，并调查与这些计划相关的组织和环境因素。通过聚类分析，我们根据CHCs中医生、护士、高级执业医师和医疗助理实习生的患病率确定了四个不同的聚类。这些集群揭示了CHCs内受训者组成的差异，表明培训和招聘重点不同。我们对组织和环境相关因素的分析发现，城市位置、CHC大小和其他临床培训生类型的百分比等因素与临床培训生分布之间存在显著关联。从本研究中获得的见解对于推进CHC医疗培训计划的持续发展至关重要，强调提供高质量的初级保健、综合培训和教育，同时解决资源有限环境下的劳动力挑战。
