Outcomes of Student-Driven, Faculty-Mentored Research and Impact on Postgraduate Training and Career Selection

Abstract

Objectives. To evaluate scholarly deliverables from student-driven research and explore the impact on postgraduate training placement rates, pharmacy faculty appointments and lifetime publications. Conclusions. Students who engaged in elective research had significant scholarly deliverables including peer reviewed publications. Students were more likely to successfully match in a post-graduate position and achieve full-time academic appointments.

A qualitative analysis to identify the elements that support department level change in the life sciences: The PULSE Vision & Change Recognition Program

“…The RTSV also noted the state of the research facilities at each institution because of the importance of engaging undergraduate students in research [20–22]. They indicated that five of the seven (71%) departments had modern research facilities that supported undergraduate research (Table 1B).…”

Optimal Path of Student Engineering Practical Ability Training for Mechanical Engineering Profession-oriented Master’s Degree Education

“…This facilitates the understanding to the essence of degree obtaining and postgraduate education, and thus to promote the development of degree system and master students education. According to analyzing and learning from the necessity and characteristics of the training of full-time professional master's degree education [5][6][7], an optimization model for the training of mechanical engineering profession-oriented master's students in our university was constructed. It is helpful to enrich the theories of degree obtaining and master students education, define the training objectives and methods of application, improve the training quality of profession-oriented master's degree education, and provide a certain reference for the reform and practice of full-time profession-oriented master's degree education in our university.…”

Residency research training: Need to rethink the prescription for success?

“…Investment in such training has been shown to increase participation in scholarly activities such as abstract and scientific platform presentations, peer-reviewed publications, successful grant funding and positively affects the likelihood of faculty appointment and lifetime publication rates. 7,8 To create a research culture requires a collective and consistent endorsement of the value of pharmacy outcomes research across schools of pharmacy, national pharmacy associations, accreditation boards, and residency programs. research experiences helps institutions fulfill their research mission and goals while the scientific and clinical advancements benefit the profession, medical community, and patients.…”
