| Popis: | The purpose of this study was to survey the current opinion of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation (PMR primary care emphasis in medical school curriculums; competition from family medicine. The majority of chairs (87%) reported no increased difficulty in recruiting international medical graduates. The three most frequently used recruiting methods were as follows: clinical rotation electives; using faculty as student advisors; teaching in the physical diagnosis course. The chairs' opinion of the three most important reasons residents choose a specific program include the following: having a committed and interested faculty; having happy current residents; having an established program with successful graduates. A reduction in the number of residents in their programs during the next four years was predicted by 27% of the chairs. The chairs also felt that we currently have too many residency slots, preferring numbers of 600 to 1,300 (mean, 1,010). The chairs had no clear choices in methods to downsize programs if that were to be mandated by the federal government but appeared the least interested in doing so by reducing every program by a flat percentage. |
