摘要

目的：分析2009-2023年儿科同时申请一个或多个其他专科（平行申请）的趋势。研究设计：回顾性分析2009-2023年美国医学院协会儿科住院医师电子申请服务申请人的数据。使用描述性统计和线性回归来确定平行申请百分比的趋势以及提交的专业和申请的平均数量。我们使用描述性统计来描述常见的儿科专业组合。结果：本分析检查了代表81138名儿科申请人的数据。结论：虽然申请儿科的申请人较少，但约有50%的儿科申请人同时申请，IMG申请人中平行申请人的比例下降，MD申请人中平行申请人的比例增加。医学院、住院医师项目和申请系统应该重新审视住院医师建议和申请限制，以减少申请人和住院医师项目同时申请的压力。

Trends in Parallel Applications to Pediatrics Residency in the United States Between 2009-2023

Objective

We analyzed the trends in application to Pediatrics residency with concurrent application to one or more other specialties (parallel applications) between 2009 and 2023.

Study design

A retrospective analysis of custom Association of American Medical Colleges Electronic Residency Application Service data of applicants to Pediatrics residency between 2009 and 2023 was conducted. Descriptive statistics and linear regressions were used to identify trends of the percent parallel applying as well as the mean number of specialties and applications submitted. We used descriptive statistics to characterize common specialty combinations with Pediatrics.

Results

The present analysis examined data representing 81 138 unique Pediatrics applicants. The proportion of Pediatrics parallel applicants (65.9% vs 48.4%, P < .001) and the mean number of specialties applied to (4.1 to 3.9, P < .001) declined from 2009 to 2023. The proportion of international medical graduates (IMG) (88.9% [n = 4468] vs 76.5% [n = 1906]; B = −0.90, P < .001) parallel applying decreased while the proportion of MD applicants (17.3% [n = 370] vs 22.1% [n = 485]; B = 0.56, P = .03) parallel applying increased between 2009 and 2023. During that period, the proportion of DO (32.9% [n = 116] vs 34.0% [n = 291]; B = −0.06, P = .21) applicants parallel applying did not significantly increase. Internal medicine (66.9%) and family medicine (60.7%) were the most common specialty combinations for parallel applicants in 2023. Between 2009 and 2023, the mean applications increased for single-specialty (25.3 vs 51.0; P < .001) and parallel applicants (119.7 vs 146.3; P < .001). IMG (127.1 vs 164.6; P < .001), DO (43.5 vs 119.8; P < .001) and MD (53.4 vs 90.0; P < .001) parallel applicants all experienced significant increases in the mean number of applications submitted.

Conclusions

Although fewer applicants are applying to Pediatrics, around 50% of Pediatrics applicants parallel applied with the proportion of parallel applicants decreasing among IMG applicants and increasing among medical doctor applicants. Medical schools, residency programs, and application systems should revisit residency advising and application limits to reduce the strain of parallel application on applicants and residency programs.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Pediatrics is an international peer-reviewed journal that advances pediatric research and serves as a practical guide for pediatricians who manage health and diagnose and treat disorders in infants, children, and adolescents. The Journal publishes original work based on standards of excellence and expert review. The Journal seeks to publish high quality original articles that are immediately applicable to practice (basic science, translational research, evidence-based medicine), brief clinical and laboratory case reports, medical progress, expert commentary, grand rounds, insightful editorials, “classic” physical examinations, and novel insights into clinical and academic pediatric medicine related to every aspect of child health. Published monthly since 1932, The Journal of Pediatrics continues to promote the latest developments in pediatric medicine, child health, policy, and advocacy. Topics covered in The Journal of Pediatrics include, but are not limited to: General Pediatrics Pediatric Subspecialties Adolescent Medicine Allergy and Immunology Cardiology Critical Care Medicine Developmental-Behavioral Medicine Endocrinology Gastroenterology Hematology-Oncology Infectious Diseases Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine Nephrology Neurology Emergency Medicine Pulmonology Rheumatology Genetics Ethics Health Service Research Pediatric Hospitalist Medicine.
