“…Previous observations and studies have indicated that universities that implement these programs within their curriculum often see an enhancement in the medical student's educational experience. These findings have been supported by the literature that has not only observed an increase in academic outcomes but clinical readiness as well [14][15][16][17][18][19][20].…”

Early involvement and exposure to evidence-based research during medical school have been shown to play a formative role in students’ holistic development as future physicians. While there are medical schools encouraging research initiatives, few programs implement 4-year longitudinal research in the curriculum. Here, the authors categorized graduates as pre-LRP or post-LRP and utilized PubMed’s Advanced Search Builder to identify each graduate’s publications with a time frame that began from 1 year to 7 years post-graduation. The data were then analyzed to identify any significant changes between these two cohorts. A total of 1022 medical school graduates from an ACGME-accredited U.S. medical school were included in this study. The average rate of publications annually was 0.47 + 1.43 (pre-LRP) and 0.57 + 1.40 (post-LRP). Additionally, the average probability of at least one publication in a given year was 22% (95% CI: 0.21–0.23) pre-LRP and 27% (95% CI: 0.25–0.28) post-LRP. Lastly, the average probability of at least one first-author publication in a given year was 12.2% (95% CI: 0.12–0.13) pre-LRP and 15% (95% CI: 0.14–0.16) post-LRP. Overall, participation in a mentored longitudinal research program during medical school demonstrated a positive trend in the number and rate of publications. The implementation of a mentored longitudinal research program can contribute to increased research productivity in physicians’ early careers, leading to the development of important research skills, the fostering of commitment in scholarly work, and a deeper understanding of evidence-based medicine.

“…According to National Resident Matching Program data, the average orthopaedic surgery match rate is around 70% over the past 8 years [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] . Factors such as research productivity, USMLE scores, volunteer and leadership activities, AOA membership, and medical school rank have all been associated with increased likelihood to match [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] . However, there is limited evidence that these factors predict successful performance during residency 16,22,23 .…”

Background: As objective metrics fade, subjective elements of orthopaedic surgery applicants carry increasing importance during recruitment. Academic orthopaedic surgeons believe they can select for high-performing orthopaedic residents. However, can they agree? The purpose of this study was (1) to analyze an academic orthopaedic surgery department to determine whether they agree on which residents performed best during residency and; (2) to correlate preresidency and intraresidency factors with postresidency evaluations of resident performance. Methods: With Institutional Review Board [IRB] approval, an orthopaedic surgery department completed surveys to evaluate residency performance for 10 years of graduated residents (2012-2022). Faculty determined (1) Post-Residency Class Rank (PRCR)—ranked from the highest (1) to lowest performing resident (5) relative to their class based on faculty perspective of performance—and (2) Rank List Score (RLS)—ranked based off the 5-point AOA SLOR used during recruitment interviews. RLS assessed how likely the department would have graduates in the program again based on residency performance. Free marginal Cohen's kappa statistics assessed faculty inter-rater agreement. Preresidency metrics (United States Medical Licensing Exam [USMLE] 1 and 2 scores, research publications, etc) were correlated with Orthopaedic In-Training Exam (OITE) scores, research productivity, American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery (ABOS) scores, and faculty-derived rankings. Linear regressions with forward variable entry (p < 0.05) were used to determine factors associated with excellent resident performance. Results: Eighteen of 25 faculty members (72%) provided survey responses evaluating 46 residents. Faculty agreed 37% and 38% of the time for PRCR (kappa 0.26) and RLS (kappa 0.23), respectively. Step 2 score was the only preresidency factor significantly associated with PRCR (p = 0.03, r2 = 0.15) and RLS (p = 0.02, r2 = 0.3). The only intraresidency factor significantly correlated with PRCR (p = 0.002, r2 = 0.50) and RLS (p = 0.01, r2 = 0.39) was PGY-4 OITE score. Conclusions: An academic orthopaedic surgery department is able to come to a consensus on evaluations of residency performance relative to peers in the same year of training (PRCR) and an objective standard (RLS). Step 2 and Post-Graduate Year (PGY)-4 OITE scores were the only preresidency and intraresidency factors with significant association to higher postresidency, faculty-derived performance scores. Level of Evidence: III.

Sibling anesthesiologists suggest clinical logbooks to counterbalance research publications and mitigate disparity between research output and clinical output

The question is which medical specialties are most commonly performing biomedical research. The question is which medical specialties are most commonly receiving research funding. The question is which medical specialties are most commonly suffering research addiction. Considering that delivery of healthcare for humanity is closely intertwined with innovation in science for humanity, clinicians benefitting professionally by creating public records of their clinical logbooks may be able to mitigate disadvantaged disparity in professional growth secondary to clinical output as compared to professional growth secondary to research output.
