Overcoming the Obstacles to Research During Residency

Teaching Lifelong Research Skills in Residency: Implementation and Outcome of a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Course

“…14 Yet, programs continue to struggle to successfully integrate practical research experience into residency training. [15][16][17] This lack of integration may in part be due to several factors, including increased clinical service demands, 18,19 limited funding dedicated for residents to conduct research, 20,21 insufficient faculty mentors, and limited resident 20,22,23 and faculty time. 19,23 Although the majority of programs report having some infrastructure to provide a research training experience, many report low levels of research knowledge (eg, research design, manuscript writing, and grant writing).…”

Understanding Faculty and Trainee Needs Related to Scholarly Activity in a Large, Nonuniversity Graduate Medical Education Program

“…This finding is consistent with those of previous studies, 3,14,19 highlighting the challenge primary care programs face to meet ACGME scholarly activity requirements and to provide adequate research mentorship. 1,3 For primary care-rich institutions like ours, these results suggest that an efficient GME research program focuses on building research capacity in primary care programs. A long-term goal …”

“…1 Additionally, participation in research may be necessary for residents interested in fellowship placements. 1 The Accreditation Council of Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) mandates participation in scholarly activity for residents and faculty in all specialties, and some specialty review committees have specified additional requirements.…”

“…2 Fulfilling the scholarly activity requirement means graduate medical education (GME) programs must develop curriculum and structures that support research, address research barriers, and foster a culture of inquiry. 1,3 The most effective and efficient programs address learners' needs and preferences, and account for the current level of research experience of targeted groups. [4][5][6] For large GME institutions with training programs in diverse specialties, developing programs to support scholarly activity may present challenges if needs and preferences vary across groups.…”
