Abstract：Objective To deeply explore the intrinsic connection between the annual professional level test and the graduation exam of standardized residency training in specialized hospitals in order to improve the quality of training.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted with the annual professional level test scores and the final theoretical examination scores of ophthalmology and otolaryngology specialty residents in the classes of 2019 and 2020.Results There were no significant differences in gender,specialty,education and recruitment source of the residents between the classes of 2019(n=41)and 2020(n=47),(P>0.05).The overall resident physicians'annual professional level test scores and the corresponding final theoretical examination scores were significantly positively correlated(R2=0.395,P<0.05).The analysis showed that recruitment source and education level were the key factors affecting the annual professional level test scores(P<0.05),while multivariate analysis confirmed that education level was the only independent correlation factor.On the other hand,gender was the only independent correlation factor affecting the graduation theoretical examination scores(P<0.05).Conclusion The annual professional level test scores of resident physicians in specialized hospitals have significant predictive and evaluative effects on the graduation examination,enhancing the importance of the annual professional level test,and effectively utilizing its predictive and pre-warning effects on the graduation examination will help improve the training quality of resident physicians.
