“…A short questionnaire was developed based on literature review of recent articles pertaining to the topic [2,5,8,[10][11][12][13][14]. The survey is composed of four sections that fulfill our aims: a demographic section (both individual and institutional), a research involvement section, an attitudes section, and a knowledge and skills section.…”

“…In each study, there is new evidence that arises pertaining to the population studied. In most cases, it seems that medical students are interested in research [8], but only a few are actually involved in the process [9]. Several reasons were reported such as the lack of time [2], the format in which the research experience was offered [10], and the lack of knowledge about the research process [11], among others.…”

Interest and Involvement in Research During Medical School: a Global Comparison of Students at High- and Low-Income Universities

2014

Objectives The objective of this study is to explore the attitudes, involvement, and knowledge of international medical students regarding research, as well as the barriers they face. Methods This is a cross-sectional survey that involves a selfadministered anonymous questionnaire with international medical students. Results A total of 221 adequately filled surveys were returned, 128 from high-income and 93 from low-and middle-income countries. Even though about 70 % of students were interested in research, only about half were involved in research in medical school, mostly in terms of literature review. Also, only about 25 % on average were confident about their research knowledge. About 80 % considered setting up formal groups to teach research in a systematic and structured way to be the best way to enhance student research. Most common obstacles facing students were lack of time, lack of funds, and lack of support. For most variables, no significant differences were found between high-and low-income groups.Conclusions Most international medical students are interested in research. Knowledge defects are evident and may be contributing to the decreased rate of involvement in research activities. Our study indicates that the best way to promote research might be by teaching it in a structured and systematic way.

“…In comparison, in a research by the Kansas City university of Medicine ninety three percent (93%) of the students felt that research improved their medical training by improving the understanding of the subject [16]. In a research work carried out to see the contrast in the ideas between novices and experienced research students it was found that, experienced students reported distinct personal, professional, and cognitive outcomes relative to their novice peers, including a more sophisticated understanding of the process of scientific research.…”

“…12 A survey of osteopathic physicians in training in 2005 found that nearly one-fourth of clinical students believed better grades, recommendations, or other favors would accompany participation in clinical trials. 13 Further concerns of professional coercion and anonymity have been raised not only with biochemical trials, but also with educational endeavors. 14 In the course of research involving residents or other trainees, sensitive information might be discovered that could be damaging to the professional future of the subject.…”

The 2012 Academic Emergency Medicine consensus conference on education research in emergency medicine (EM) addressed various issues, including that of ethics in medical education research for EM. Education research in EM is essential to patient care and safety, and with recent advances in simulation and the advent of the Milestones project, it will become even more vital. Education research in EM is guided by the same principles that guide the ethical conduct of all human subjects' research: respect for persons, beneficence, and justice. Regulatory provisions and widely accepted ethical standards provide a framework for research in EM education; however, special considerations exist for education research. To ensure patient and trainee safety and to maintain the integrity of new knowledge, ethical considerations should remain at the forefront of EM education research. For EM education researchers, recognition of the vulnerability of residents, medical students, and others as research subjects is paramount. This article fills an important gap by outlining the principles guiding education research in EM, exploring the ethical challenges and approaches to education research, and offering a framework and future directions for the ethical conduct of education research in EM.ACADEMIC EMERGENCY MEDICINE 19:1328-1332 © 2012 by the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine E ducation research in emergency medicine (EM) is essential to patient care and safety. Over the past decade, EM education research has developed significantly, with evaluations of high-fidelity simulation training, the development of medical education fellowship training and a focus on sharing and implementing best practices in EM training. The Council of EM Residency Directors (CORD) defines EM education research as "scientific investigation designed to furnish new knowledge relating to emergency medicine education."1 The goal of EM education research is to define how to most effectively and efficiently prepare competent and compassionate emergency physicians (EPs) in the cognitive, procedural, and professional competencies outlined in the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) core competencies and elucidated in the Model of the Clinical Practice of Emergency Medicine. 2The recently released EM Milestones highlight the central role of providing objective measures of effective, feasible, and accountable education in EM.3 Evaluating the progression of learners through specialty-specific milestones might result in the identification and remediation of learners who require additional professional development. 4 However, maximizing the potential of the milestones for producing well-trained EPs will depend on rigorous scientific evaluation of educational interventions, programs, and curricula. Investigations of how to best meet the objectives of the milestones for residents in training will be a priority for EM research in the near future.Education research in EM is guided by the same principles that guide the ethical conduct o...
