Abstract
Background: Knowledge concerning hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is rapidly changing.Purpose: We sought to understand the factors that influence how residents assimilate this knowledge.Methods: We conducted an anonymous survey of residents in an internal medicine residency. Questions included personal demographic information and aspects of training (didactic and experiential) regarding and knowledge about HRT. Data were analyzed using univariable and multivariable linear regression.Results: Sixty-nine of 92 residents (75%) completed the survey. The gender and race of respondents did not differ significantly from the overall group. Knowledge scores were higher among residents in nontraditional (Women's Health, Primary Care, and Internal Medicine-Pediatrics) training tracks (p =. 04) and among residents with patient population of ≥ 30% postmenopausal women (p = . 049). Demographic characteristics and didactic training about HRT did not influence knowledge.Conclusions: Nontraditional residency track and higher proportion of postmenopausal women in a practice (experiential learning) improve knowledge about HRT. Didactic training has no effect.
