摘要

背景:拥有农村背景是最终拥有农村实践的最具预测性因素之一,但来自农村地区的人在接受高等教育方面面临几个障碍。职业前农村路径倡议是一个潜在的解决方案。不列颠哥伦比亚省塞尔柯克学院的农村医学预科课程(RPM)旨在为学生提供申请医学和其他卫生专业课程所需的学分,介绍农村卫生保健问题,以及一个独特而全面的支持计划,以确保成功。方法:我们对2014年9月至2020年5月期间离开该项目的前学生进行了横断面调查,以探索项目目标实现的程度。结果:有效率为49.4%(40/81)。受访者同意该计划提高了他们的技能,他们对农村卫生保健问题的理解,并增强了他们申请卫生专业项目的竞争力。大多数人认为,该计划增加了他们未来在农村工作的意愿。受访者建议,学术规划应更加灵活,以允许更多不同的课程后途径。结论:这项调查提供了初步证据,证明RPM计划正在增加有农村亲和力的人准备成为卫生专业人员的人数。

Evaluation of a pre-professional pathway program: perspectives of former students in the rural pre-medicine program at Selkirk College
Background: Having a rural background is one of the most predictive factors in eventually having a rural practice, but people from rural areas face several barriers to post-secondary education. Pre-professional rural pathway initiatives are a potential solution. The Rural Pre-Medicine Program (RPM) at Selkirk College, British Columbia was developed to provide students with the credits necessary to apply to medicine and other health professional programs, an introduction to rural healthcare issues, and a unique and comprehensive support program to enable success. Methods: We administered a cross-sectional survey to former students who left the program from its inception in September 2014 to May 2020 to explore the extent to which program aims are being met. Results: The response rate was 49.4% (40/81). Respondents agreed the program increased their skills, their understanding of rural healthcare issues, and enhanced their competitiveness for applying to health professional programs. Most agreed the program increased their future rural work intentions. Respondents suggested that academic programming be more flexible to allow for more varied post-program pathways. Conclusion: This survey provides preliminary evidence the RPM Program is on track to increase the number of people with a rural affinity who prepare to become health professionals.
