国际医学毕业生（IMG）遇到的障碍，因为他们试图匹配到奖学金计划在美国（US）。本研究的目的是确定是否有不同的推荐信写的IMG相比，美国医学毕业生（USMG）申请肺和重症监护医学（PCCM）奖学金计划。2021年提交给PCCM奖学金计划的所有申请都包括在这项研究中。申请人的人口统计数据和成就是从申请中挖掘出来的。写信人的性别是通过专业网站上作者的代词来识别的。使用语言调查和字数统计（LWIC 2015）程序分析了每个申请人的字母字数和语言差异。进行多变量线性回归控制申请人的特点，以确定是否IMG状态与总字数和支持程度，衡量的复合结果，包括几个类别的形容词，相比USMG状态。在573份申请中，大多数申请人是USMG（72%，N = 334/573）。当调整申请人特征时，与USMG申请人相比，IMG申请人的推荐信较短（87.81个总单词较短，95% CI：-118.61，-57.00，p值< 0.01），支持信较少（4.79个复合单词较短，95% CI：-6.61，-2.97，p值< 0.01）。值得注意的是，当写信人是男性时，IMG的女性申请人与USMG的申请人相比，字数差异最大。与USMG的申请人相比，IMG的PCCM奖学金申请人收到的推荐信更短，支持性更低。在线版本包含补充材料，可通过10.1186/s12909-023-04042-5获得。
International Medical Graduates (IMGs) encounter barriers as they seek to match into fellowship programs in the United States (US). This study’s objective is to determine if there are differences in letters of recommendation written for IMGs compared to U.S. Medical Graduates (USMGs) applying to pulmonary and critical care medicine (PCCM) fellowship programs. All applications submitted to a PCCM fellowship program in 2021 were included in this study. The applicant demographics and accomplishments were mined from applications. The gender of letter writers was identified by the author’s pronouns on professional websites. Word count and language differences in the letters were analyzed for each applicant using the Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LWIC2015) program. Multivariable linear regressions were performed controlling for applicant characteristics to identify if IMG status was associated with total word count and degree of support, measured by a composite outcome encompassing several categories of adjectives, compared to USMG status. Of the 573 applications, most of the applicants were USMGs (72%, N = 334/573). When adjusting for applicant characteristics, IMG applicants had shorter letters of recommendation (87.81 total words shorter 95% CI: − 118.61, − 57.00, p-value < 0.01) and less supportive letters (4.79 composite words shorter 95% CI: − 6.61, − 2.97, p-value < 0.01), as compared to USMG applicants. Notably, female IMG applicants had the biggest difference in their word counts compared to USMG applicants when the letter writer was a man. IMG applicants to a PCCM fellowship received shorter and less supportive letters of recommendation compared to USMG applicants.
