“…A strong foundation in research design and analysis is crucial to the implementation and execution of successful research projects [21],[26]. Without adequate research training, residents find it difficult to conceive of relevant research questions, identify appropriate metrics for data collection, complete successful Institutional Research Ethics Board applications, provide accurate statistical analysis, and publish their completed projects in peer-reviewed journals.…”

“…Common topics identified in the literature include the lack of funding, inadequate research mentorship and lack of departmental support. [16][17][18][19][20][21] Overcoming these barriers in individual Medical Imaging Departments and local and global communities is needed.…”

“…To address the lack of research funding in the United States, the American Board of Radiology introduced a specific clinician-scientist program to support research-oriented radiology and radiation oncology residents -The Holman Research Pathway (HRP). 22 On top of the traditional 5-year residency training time, trainees in the HRP can take up to 24 [16][17][18][19][20][21] months of additional dedicated research time, 22 which may extend their training to a total of 7 years. 22 Recent retrospective reviews of the program demonstrated that a statistically significant higher proportion of HRP trainees have moved on to academic careers compared to non-HRP trainees.…”

Purpose: To measure the research productivity of trainees from the University of Toronto’s Medical Imaging Clinician Investigator Program (MI-CIP) and comparing it with the research productivity of trainees from MI-non-CIP and General Surgery (GSx) Clinician Investigator Program. Methods: We identified residents who completed an MI-CIP, MI-non-CIP and GSx-CIP from 2006-2016. In each group of trainees, we assessed 3 research productivity outcomes with non-parametric tests before residency and at 7 years post-CIP completion/post-graduation. Research productivity outcomes include the number of total publications, the number of first-author publications, and the publication’s average journal impact factor (IF). Results: We identified 11 MI-CIP trainees (male/female: 9 [82%]/2 [18%]), 74 MI-non-CIP trainees (46 [62%]/28 [38%]) and 41 GSx-CIP trainees (23 [56%]/18 [44%]). MI-CIP trainees had statistically significant higher research productivity than MI-non-CIP in all measured outcomes. The median (interquartile range, IQR) number of total publications of MI-CIP vs MI-non-CIP trainees was 5.0 (8.0) vs 1.0 (2.0) before residency and 6.0 (10.0) vs .0 (2.0) at 7 years post-CIP completion/post-graduation. The median (IQR) first-author publications of MI-CIP vs MI-non-CIP trainees was 2.0 (3.0) vs .0 (1.0) before residency and 2.0 (4.0) vs (.0) (1.0) at 7 years post-CIP completion/post-graduation. The median (IQR) average journal IF of MI-CIP vs MI-non-CIP trainees was 3.2 (2.0) vs .3 (2.4) before residency and 3.9 (3.2) vs .0 (2.6) at 7 years post-CIP completion/post-graduation. Between MI-CIP and GSx-CIP trainees, there were no significant differences in research productivity in all measured outcomes. Conclusion: MI-CIP trainees actively conducted research after graduation. These trainees demonstrated early research engagement before residency. The similar research productivity of MI-CIP vs GSx-CIP trainees shows initial success of MI-CIP trainees.

“…Most radiology residencies offer limited built-in research time due to increasing clinical demands. Prior surveys have shown that less than a quarter of residents are provided with dedicated research time, even upon request (15). The nature of basic science investigation requires not only protected longitudinal research time, but appropriate and early faculty mentorship.…”
