Abstract |
Background Nowadays 2-year 'Compulsory Clinical Training Program' is on issue. The perception and opinions for the new training system of residents and interns may be essential to establish ideal postgraduate medical education. Methods: A questionnaire survey of postgraduate trainee from March to April 2008 was performed by person to person method. Gender, age, specialty, the location and the facility of the hospital, and 7 questions reflecting individual perception and opinions for the 'Compulsory Clinical Training Program' were reviewed. Results: Among in 1,314, 1,284 subjects completed the survey fully. We divided 1,284 sujects into 4 groups; Intern; Resident of Family Medicine; Resident of Internal Medicine or Pediatrics; Resident of other than Family Medicine, Internal Medicine and Pediatrics. About the vision for independent clinical skills through the 'Compulsory Clinical Training Program', most were negative. They were afraid of 'prolongation of current Internship' or 'unclear quality of the training course'. In case of setting the 'Compulsory Clinical Training Program', most chose additional resident courses for specialty. The main opinion about the ideal model of a primary physician was medical doctors who obtained primary care specialty. Conclusion: Most of the residents and interns think that the specialists of family medicine, internal medicine or pediatrics are suitable for primary care. And on wishing the additional residency course even after 'Compulsory Clinical Training Program', they doubt about the effi cacy of the new training system. |
