Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the employment status of graduates from standardized residency training in Hubei Province, China and provide strategies for improving the quality of medical education after graduation.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted in August 2022. Graduates from the first and second batches of 29 national standardized residency training bases in Hubei Province from 2017 to 2022 were surveyed using an online questionnaire. A total of 4 344 valid responses were collected, with a response rate of 95.78%. The survey was conducted online using a self-designed questionnaire titled "Employment Status Survey of Residency Training Graduates in Hubei Province".Results:Among the graduates, 3 505 (80.69%) were directly employed after completing the training, while 428 (9.85%) were unemployed. The primary reason for unemployment was ongoing job searching or application processes (268, 62.61%). Of the employed graduates, 3 082 (87.63%) worked in hospitals, including 1 799 (58.37%) in grade A tertiary hospitals, 485 (15.74%) in grade B tertiary hospitals, and 618 (20.05%) in grade A secondary hospitals. A total of 2 936 (83.48%) graduates worked in physician positions aligned with their training specialties, while 500 (14.22%) worked in physician positions unrelated to their training specialties. Additionally, 1 349 (38.35%) graduates reported that their current income met their personal consumption needs, while 2 138 (61.65%) stated that their income barely met or failed to meet their needs. Moreover, 2 466 (70.12%) graduates felt that their current work status generally met their expectations, while 968 (27.52%) reported that it fell below their expectations. Of the graduates, 2 927 (67.40%) believed that the residency training significantly helped them perform their current jobs, whereas 1 417 (32.60%) perceived the training as providing limited or moderate assistance.Conclusions:The re-employment rate of residency training graduates in Hubei Province is relatively high. However, the recognition of standardized residency training and the salary levels of re-employment are relatively low.
