目的：在过去的几年里，人们对国际急诊医学（IEM）项目的兴趣越来越大。许多居住计划提供或鼓励居住期间的国际机会。本研究的目的是双重的：1）以确定是否在住院期间的国际机会的可用性影响急诊医学（EM）住院医师课程的排名毕业的医学生和2）以确定是否以前的国际卫生经验的医学生影响面试和排名的住院医师课程与国际机会。研究方法：一项八个问题的调查测量了对IEM的兴趣及其对项目排名的影响，该调查邮寄给了来自美国122个经认证的对抗疗法EM居住项目的所有1,205名第一年EM居民。国际机会被定义为在住院期间提供国际选修课或有IEM奖学金的任何课程。数据采用描述性统计和卡方检验进行分析。结果：在1,205份邮寄调查中，34%是由第一年的居民退回的。在所有受访者中，281/408（690%）在有国际机会的项目中接受了采访。研究结果显示，62%（164/264）的学生在接受国际机会项目的采访时，认为国际机会的可用性是排名居住项目的积极因素。分析显示，68%（104/152）具有国际医疗经验的申请人更有可能将具有国际机会的EM居留项目排名高于那些没有国际机会的项目。结论：这项研究表明，在居住期间的国际机会的可用性积极影响居住排名。这种关系在具有国际卫生经验的医学生中更强。关键词：国际机会;急诊医学住院医师;项目选择。
Objectives: In the last several years, there has been increasing interest in international emergency medicine (IEM) programs. A number of residency programs offer or encourage international opportunities during residency. The purpose of this study was twofold: 1) to determine whether the availability of international opportunities during residency affected the ranking of emergency medicine (EM) residency programs by graduating medical students and 2) to determine whether prior international health experience among medical students influences interviewing and ranking of residency programs with international opportunities. Methods: An eight-question survey measuring interest in IEM and its effect on ranking of programs was mailed to all 1,205 first-year EM residents from 122 accredited allopathic EM residency programs in the United States. International opportunities were defined as any program that offered an international elective during residency or had an IEM fellowship. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and chi-square tests. Results: Of the 1,205 mailed surveys, 34% were returned by the first-year residents. Of all respondents, 281/408 (690%) interviewed at programs with international opportunities. Study findings revealed 62% (164/264) of the students who interviewed at programs with international opportunities considered the availability of international opportunities a positive factor in ranking residency programs. Analysis revealed that applicants with previous international health experience, 68% (104/152), were more likely to rank EM residency programs with international opportunities higher than those that did not. Conclusions: This study suggests that the availability of international opportunities during residency positively affected residency ranking. This relationship was stronger in medical students with prior international health experience. Key words: international opportunities; emergency medicine residency; program selection.
