Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of medical residency training program in postgraduate-year-one (PGY-1) residents at Peking Union Medical College (PUMC) Hospital. METHODS: PGY-1 medical residents at PUMC Hospital were surveyed by a self-administered questionnaire after they completed their first year residency. RESULTS: Forty-nine residents who completed their first year residency training participated in the survey with a 100% response rate. Before training, only a few had bedside (n = 18) and on-call experiences (n = 10). At the end of the one-year-training, all the residents (100%) considered themselves being improved to certain degrees, especially in clinical practice capability, and passed all the examinations. However, 53.1% and 8.2% of all the residents agreed that they need to improve their abilities in teaching (n = 26) and doctor-patient communication (n = 4), respectively. All residents hoped to get further improved by taking part in various forms of teaching activities, including experience summary/sharing and basic skills training. During the first year, 95.9% of them participated in all teaching activities in medicine actively. CONCLUSIONS: The tradition and current models of medical residency training program at PUMC Hospital had a significant impact on professional development of the 1st year resident physicians. It is critical to focus on basic skill training and multi-level teaching to improve residents' clinical competency.
