努力提高自己是正经。
我是把 withdrew 的都按 pre-match 算了，哈。（照这样算的话今年比去年还好一点
点。当然不知道这里面加勒比海毕业生的比例，以及fresh graduates 的比例。） | S******9
发帖数: 2837 | 2 这个是一个大学内科PD的总结
Nationally the number of U.S. students in the match increased from roughly
15,000 in 2009 to 17,000 this year; this is a result of new medical schools
and increased medical school size. The number of U.S. students applying to
internal medicine increased by 500 since 2009. The number of internal
medicine positions in the match increased by 1000 due to the "all in" rule.
The fill rate for internal medicine in the match was 96%, with about 49% of
positions filled by U.S. grads.
Currently U.S. medical schools are graduating more students, while the
number of training positions remain frozen, which ultimately leads to more
competition for residency training positions. The bottleneck for producing
more physicians is at the graduate medical education (GME) level. Since GME
funding is a complicated political issue, the prospect of increasing the
number of residents nationally does not look promising.
There has been considerable debate over the size and scope of federal
subsidies to support residency training of the nation's physicians. What is
your take on Obama administration cutting back on graduate medical education
(GME) funding? Do you believe our nation is training enough doctors, and,
if so, of the types that are needed?
For the last 30 years GME funding was set up so that having residents was
seen as a financial benefit to hospitals. Proposed cuts to GME funding may
change the formula and having residents may not have as positive a
contribution to a hospital's financial health as it once did. Currently
there are not enough residency positions in U.S. to meet our work force
needs for physicians. The funding for new residency positions is problematic
in light of the deficit reduction efforts and the need to cut the federal
budget. With the number of positions being frozen, as the number of U.S.
medical graduates increase, the opportunities for international graduates
diminish.
The greatest need in our society right now is for physicians who provide
frontline care; on the other hand, our health care system had put the
greatest incentives for professionals who provide specialty care, therefore,
devaluing primary care. This is slowly changing. We are involved in an
innovative program at VA focused on training residents in multidisciplinary
teams with a focus on chronic disease management. We have also begun an
initiative to send residents to do their continuity clinic in community-
based primary care practices. As a result of a very positive experience in
this setting, some of our residents are now looking to accept jobs in the
community clinics. Overall, we are currently experiencing a shift toward a
more balanced mix of primary care and specialized training in medicine;
hopefully this will allow us to meet society's needs | m*******1

发帖数: 3726 | 5 But it really depends on how much PMD will make. If doing specialties does
not make a lot more than PMDs, then no need to go for specialty unless
really interested. So, what the reimbursement policy should do, if they
really want to decrease the cost and encourage residents to go for PMD
career, is to increase the reimbursement rate to PMD and decrease the rate
to specialties. If reimbursement doesn't change, people will still go for
specialty.

我觉得一个重要的问题我们一直没有回答：
去年和前年Chinese medical graduate的申请人数和录取几率是多少？
版上去年申请的估计有250-300人吧？如果录取75人。那么离IMG的45%还有很大距离。
光谈IMG的45-46%，我们会低估困难。
不知道这么说，有没有道理？

发帖数: 1274 | 7 "The number of IMGs who matched to first-year positions increased by 1,425
compared to 2012. Of the 12,683 IMGs who participated in the 2013 Match, 6,
311 (49.8%) matched."
"For example, while 4,626 IMGs obtained PGY-1 positions through the 2011
Match, 6,754 IMGs entered PGY-1 for the 2011-2012 academic year."
So due to the all-in all-out policy, the number of IMGs eventually enter PGY
-1 might be reduced this year.

发帖数: 65 | 9 What was not accounted for in 2012 is those who didnt not join match, were
not 'premached' in the system and yet were offered PYG1 positions. The
number was higher than 2500. These people were dumped into the match in
2013.
