Abstract
Aim. To evaluate the results and identified challenges associated with the initial General Medicine accreditation.
Material and methods. The results of the initial General Medicine accreditation for the period 2022-2024 were analyzed. The accreditation was conducted at the multidisciplinary accreditation and simulation center established at the Saint Petersburg State Pediatric Medical University. The total percentage of individuals who passed each accreditation stage, as well as the scores for the first stage, were assessed. Statistical analysis was performed using the chisquare test.
Results. The initial number of individuals seeking initial accreditation over the three years under review was 109, 153, and 151, respectively. From this number, 48,4% of those accredited successfully completed the first stage on their first attempt. The proportion of students failing the first stage, despite three attempts, increased by 1,8 times (p<0,01) from 2022 to 2024, primarily due to international students. The overall trend of successfully completing the second and third stages in approximately 80% of cases persisted. When evaluating the results of the first accreditation stage, the percentage of excellent results decreased from 340% to 192% (p<0,05).
Conclusion. Two-thirds of the graduates who applied had positive results in the initial General Medicine accreditation. Unsatisfactory results were primarily related to the first stage, with a significant contribution from international students, who require a special approach to preparation.
