目的：作者试图确定是否存在对国际医学研究生申请美国精神病学住院医师培训职位的选择偏见。方法：两名住院医师申请人（一名国际医学毕业生和一名美国医学院毕业生）向193个住院医师培训项目发出了相同的项目申请请求，并对响应率和响应特征进行了比较。结果如下：美国医学院毕业生（159人）对申请表的回复率明显高于国际医学毕业生（87人）。在某些情况下，答复的质量也各不相同。结论：一些精神病学的住院医师项目正试图在第一个层面限制国际医学研究生申请者的涌入：申请表格的要求。这种做法的原因尚不清楚，但歧视可能是一种解释。
Objective: The authors sought to determine whether there is a selection bias against international medical graduate applicants for U.S. residency training positions in psychiatry. Method: Identical requests for a program application were sent by two resident applicants - one international medical graduate and one graduate of a U.S. medical school-to 193 residency training programs, and the rate and character of responses were compared. Results: The response rate to requests for an application form was significantly higher for the U.S. medical school graduate (159 responses) than the international medical graduate (87 responses). The quality of responses was also different in some cases. Conclusions: Some residency programs in psychiatry are attempting to limit the influx of international medical graduate applicants at the very first level: the request for an application form. The reasons for this practice are not known, but discrimination could be a possible explanation.
