“…Our dataset, fully described elsewhere [8], included 307 residents for whom we had documented follow up of at least 2 years after the start of fellowship, and up to 7 years after fellowship match. Of these 307 fellowship bound internal medicine residents, 126 (41%) ultimately published at least one article between 3 and 7 years after fellowship match (Late Publishers).…”

BackgroundInternal medicine fellowship programs have an incentive to select fellows who will ultimately publish. Whether an applicant's publication record predicts long term publishing remains unknown.MethodsUsing records of fellowship bound internal medicine residents, we analyzed whether publications at time of fellowship application predict publications more than 3 years (2 years into fellowship) and up to 7 years after fellowship match. We calculate the sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values and likelihood ratios for every cutoff number of application publications, and plot a receiver operator characteristic curve of this test.ResultsOf 307 fellowship bound residents, 126 (41%) published at least one article 3 to 7 years after matching, and 181 (59%) of residents do not publish in this time period. The area under the receiver operator characteristic curve is 0.59. No cutoff value for application publications possessed adequate test characteristics.ConclusionThe number of publications an applicant has at time of fellowship application is a poor predictor of who publishes in the long term. These findings do not validate the practice of using application publications as a tool for selecting fellows.

“…Traditional academic centres have reported a dramatic increase in publications and empiric research to nearly 100% with the implementation of a full research curriculum [6,7,11]. More frequent reports indicate that 25–35% of residents published or present papers during training [2,4].…”

The University of South Dakota Sanford School of Medicine Internal Medicine residency implemented a program to enhance scholarship among residents. This residency is part of a small Mid-Western community-based school.Background: A Director of Research was hired and developed a structured approach consisting of: 1. Independent study regarding research methods and statistical testing and 2. Mentoring of residents and faculty in scholarly pursuits starting in the first months of residency.Methods: Scholarship for two cohorts of residents for years July 2011–2014 and January 2014–2017 were followed. Products included papers accepted/published and papers accepted/presented at national or international meetings.Results: 7 (14.8%) of 47 residents in the first cohort published 12 papers (0.25 papers/resident) with 18 faculty as co-authors (1.5/paper). 20 (43.4%) of 46 residents in the second cohort (structured program) published 39 papers (0.85 papers/resident) with 80 faculty as co-authors (2.1/paper). The difference in papers was significant by chi-square analysis.Conclusion: A structured program requiring independent study in conjunction with individualized mentoring of scholarship starting early in the first postgraduate year was successful in significantly increasing the scholarly activity of our community-based internal medicine residents and faculty. With this program, the percentage of residents publishing exceeds national statistics recently reported.

Background Research during residency is associated with better clinical performance, improved critical thinking, and increased interest in an academic career.Objective We examined the rate, characteristics, and factors associated with research publications by residents in Oman Medical Specialty Board (OMSB) programs.Methods We included residents enrolled in 18 OMSB residency programs between 2011 and 2016. Resident characteristics were obtained from the OMSB Training Affairs Department. In April 2018, MEDLINE and Google Scholar databases were searched independently by 2 authors for resident publications in peer-reviewed journals using standardized criteria.Results Over the study period, 552 residents trained in OMSB programs; 64% (351 of 552) were female, and the mean age at matriculation was 29.4 6 2.2 years. Most residents (71%, 393 of 552) were in the early stages of specialty training (R 3) and 49% (268 of 552) completed a designated research block as part of their training. Between 2011 and 2016, 43 residents published 42 research articles (range, 1-5 resident authors per article), for an overall publication rate of 8%. Residents were the first authors in 20 (48%) publications. Male residents (odds ratio [OR] ¼ 2.07; P ¼ .025, 95% CI 1.1-3.91) and residents who completed a research block (OR ¼ 2.57; P ¼ .017, 95% CI 1.19-5.57) were significantly more likely to publish.Conclusions Research training during residency can result in tangible research output. Future studies should explore barriers to publication for resident research and identify interventions to promote formal scholarly activity during residency.
