Objectives: The main purpose of this study was to conduct an initial probe into the factors affecting Post-graduate Year (PGY) trainees from "A University Hospital" when applying their hospital of choice for residency, and to gain a better insight on applicant's decision making process in a systemically manner to improve our resident recruitment program based on the finding of this study. Method: 49 applicants were asked to fill out a web-based seven-point Likert scale self-report questionnaires after their interview. The surveys were then collected and analyzed. Results: Out of 49 questionnaires, 35 were deemed effective (71.4%) with a male to female ratio 60:40. The independent t-test among the "A University Hospital" graduates, "a sense of belonging to my hospital" and "personal preference on subjects of choice over hospital of choice" were revealed as significant factors in two-tail t-test (confidence level > 95%), and "A University Hospital" graduates had significantly higher sense of belonging than graduates from other schools. Using factor analysis, we isolated four dimensions, "subjective feeling of clinical learning environment", "acceptable clinical work loading", "interpersonal relationships" and "personal aspiration". The logistic regression analysis showed PGY trainees are 5.32 times more likely to choose "A University Hospital" with every point increase in their "sense of belonging". Conclusions: Although the traditional style of apprenticeship training focused more on interpersonal relationship and work ethic, the team-approach style of training built up more sense of belonging in the PGY trainees, especially when the trainees worked together in clinical environment. In this environment, the trainees formed tight bonds between peers, and these bonds between peers then being generalized by the trainees as sense of belonging to "A University Hospital" and became an important part of the organization. Thus, the trainees were more willing to stay for residency at the same hospital. |
