“…It is not known which is the best among the various reported methods on how to promote scholarly activities in residency programs. 7,9,[12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] Some studies concluded that "a scholarly culture is most important" to promote scholarly activities 8,16 and the JPS reform of the publication requirement policy in 2017 can be said to act at least as a compelling force, so to speak, to promote a scholarly culture. It has been reported from Japan and other countries that conference presentations do not always lead to publications, 11,17,19,20 so the results of this study showing that publications increased while presentations did not, and that not only case reports but also original articles increased, may indicate a growing scholarly culture.…”

“…11 There have been many reports on the promotion of scholarly activities in postgraduate training worldwide.The reported methods were varied, such as research curricula, protected research time, supervision or mentorship, research progress tracks, or required scholarly activities, although it is not known which strategy is most effective. 7,9,[12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] In 2017, the Japan Pediatric Society (JPS) made at least one article publication mandatory as a prerequisite for taking the pediatrics board certification test, with the goal of promoting scholarship. Although the number of article publications has been reported to be associated with this reform, 22 the trends and details of publications are not known.…”

BackgroundScholarship is recognized as important in residency training worldwide. The Japan Pediatric Society (JPS) enacted a reform in 2017 to require publication of an article as a prerequisite for taking the board certification test, with the goal of increasing scholarly activity.MethodsThe purpose of this study was to provide a detailed description of the trends in residents' scholarly activities related to the JPS reform. A secondary analysis was performed on the cross‐sectional database of pediatrics residents who took the certification test in 2015–2018.ResultsThe enrolled participants were 2399 residents of which 79.7% passed the test. Publication of any type of article increased significantly (21%–22% to 100%; 0.1 to 0.3/person‐year) after the implementation of the JPS reform, whereas academic presentations did not (89% to 91%; 1.2 to 1.3/person‐year), both in terms of the percentage of the number of those who created them and the average rate of research production. Not only Japanese articles (11%–13% to 49%–53%; 0.04 to 0.15–0.17/person‐year) or case reports (10%–14% to 51%–52%; 0.03–0.05 to 0.16–0.17/person‐year), but also English articles (4%–5% to 15%–16%; 0.01–0.02 to 0.05/person‐year) and original articles (5% to 11%–17%; 0.01 to 0.03–0.05/person‐year) increased significantly. The number of each type of article publication was correlated with success in the board certification test (odds ratio 1.5–1.8).ConclusionsScholarly activities of pediatrics residents were enhanced by the JPS implementation of the article requirement policy, which is crucial to fostering a scholarly culture. The most efficient measures to promote scholarship need to be persistently investigated.

“…5 Furthermore, some institutions have designated a CMR as the leader of a dedicated longitudinal QIPS residency pathway to provide additional training to residents and serve as a mentor to those that want to explore QIPS as part of their career in medicine. These initiatives can provide avenues to harness the potential of the CMR as champions in QIPS scholarly initiatives through (1) formal training and curriculum delivery to residents, (2) supervision of patient safety rotations and conferences, (3) oversight of resident-led QIPS projects, (4) creation of resident-led patient safety quality councils, and (5) participation in committees as a liaison between resident-led initiatives and the hospital QIPS structure to increase project effectiveness. 4,5 Placing a CMR at the center of these efforts can increase trainees' understanding of healthcare delivery, foster a culture of QIPS, and improve resident scholarship during internal medicine training.…”
