摘要

项目信号是居留申请过程中一个相对较新的工具,用于帮助申请人在申请人数不断增加的情况下表达对项目的真正兴趣。虽然它的应用已经迅速扩展到各个专业,但信号的数量和类型各不相同。有限的跨专业分析阻碍了最佳实践的识别,使申请人和项目没有关于如何使用信号来实现特定目标的标准化指导。目的本综述总结了项目信号对申请量和面谈产量、利益相关者的看法以及信号使用的演变趋势的定量影响。方法于2021年1月~ 2024年5月对3个数据库进行系统检索。四名独立的审稿人筛选研究的原始,经验数据的程序信号。叙述性审查综合了结果和利益相关者意见的发现。结果在筛选的98项研究中,31项(32%)符合纳入标准。来自多个专业的数据表明,信号提高了面试成功率,尽管好处并不随提供的信号数量而增加。在某些专业中,允许更多的信号与每个程序更少的应用有关。申请人和项目主管都普遍积极看待信号。在信号较少的专业中,申请人的满意度更高。随着时间的推移,已经出现了增加信号和实现分层模型的趋势。结论:程序信号与跨专业面试成功率的提高有关。大多数项目主管和申请人支持继续使用它。申请者希望项目使用信号的方式更加透明。

A Review of Program Signaling Effects, Perceptions, and Trends for Medical Residencies.

Background Program signaling is a relatively new tool in the residency application process, introduced to help applicants express genuine interest in programs amid rising application numbers. While its use has rapidly expanded across specialties, the number and type of signals vary. Limited cross-specialty analysis hinders identification of best practices, leaving applicants and programs without standardized guidance about how to use signaling to achieve specific goals. Objective This review summarizes the quantitative effects of program signaling on application volume and interview yield, stakeholder perceptions, and evolving trends in signaling use. Methods A systematic search on 3 databases was conducted from January 2021 through May 2024. Four independent reviewers screened studies for original, empirical data on program signaling. A narrative review synthesized findings on outcomes and stakeholder opinions. Results Of 98 studies screened, 31 (32%) met inclusion criteria. Data from multiple specialties showed that signaling increased interview yield, though benefits did not scale with the number of signals offered. Allowing more signals was associated with fewer applications per program in some specialties. Both applicants and program directors generally viewed signaling positively. Applicant satisfaction was higher in specialties with fewer signals. Over time, there has been a trend toward increasing signals and implementing tiered models. Conclusions Program signaling is associated with increased interview yield across specialties. Most program directors and applicants support its continued use. Applicants desire greater transparency in how programs use signals.
