“…The first is by engaging students with talents and ambition into extracurricular research programs. Examples of these extracurricular research programs are MD/PhD programs and scholarly concentration programs, the latter becoming a common method within the field of medical education [ 12 , 13 ]. The second is by integrating research into medical curricula in a way that it reaches all medical students [ 7 ].…”

“…CAPTE places minimal standards on scholarly activity present in physical therapy programs; accredited programs are required to employ at least 50% of faculty holding an advanced academic doctoral degree [ 5 ]. An institutional culture of research and investment in the students and faculty reflects in increased research productivity [ 30 ]. Growth in private, non-research intensive institutions does not appear to add to such productivity [ 9 ].…”

Predictors of research productivity among physical therapy programs in the United States: an observational study

et al. 2020

Background: This study targeted the association of program characteristics of 203 Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) programs in the United States (US) reported by the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education (CAPTE) in their 2017 Annual Accreditation Report (AAR) with measures of core faculty research volume. The association of institutional, program, and faculty characteristics of an institution with core faculty research volume was investigated. Methods: This observational study analyzed data provided in the AAR about program research volume. Predictor variables included institutional, program and faculty characteristics. Research volume was measured as a ratio of 1) number of peer-reviewed publications, 2) National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding, and 3) faculty with grants, per number of core faculty. Research volume was stratified by quartiles and analyzed using logistic regression analyses. The highest 25% were analyzed against the lowest 75%. Results: In the multivariate logistic regression analyses, research Carnegie classification was positively associated with NIH funding (OR = 4.04; 95% CI = 1.92, 8.48) and number of peer reviewed publications (OR = 7.63; 95% CI = 3.39, 17.14). Square footage of research space was positively associated with number of peer reviewed publications (OR = 4.58; 95% CI = 2.08, 10.11). Private status was negatively associated with NIH funding (OR = 0.37; 95% CI = 0.17, 0.83) and faculty holding grants (OR = 0.38; 95% CI = 0.19, 0.76). Conclusions: There is strong evidence that research culture (e.g., research Carnegie status and dedicated research space) is related to research productivity in DPT programs in the US. Private status was indicative of a non-research intensive environment, which may be reflective of a current trend of small, non-research based private institutions initiating DPT programs.

“…Hence, the program is largely devoted to make the first step to cultivate the next generation of physician-scientists. The LUMC program can be seen as an extracurricular research program, internationally similar to earlier mentioned 'scholarly concentration programs' [22]. The LUMC Honors program has a relatively large capacity to accommodate students and focuses on providing them with scholarly experiences.…”

“…These research-based programs occur in very different ways and under different names, but share a mutual goal to expose students to in-depth inquiry and research experiences with capstone projects like writing a thesis or a publishable article. Such extracurricular research programs occur as, for instance, MD/PhD programs, scholarly concentration programs, Capstone programs, Summer Research programs, and Honors programs [19,22,23]. Leiden University Medical Center designed and implemented an extracurricular research-based Honors program to engage students in research.…”

Using an Extracurricular Honors Program to Engage Future Physicians Into Scientific Research in Early Stages of Medical Training

et al. 2018

Physician-scientists are urgently needed to make progress in the dynamic world of medical healthcare. Currently, there is a worldwide shortage in physicians pursuing a scientific career. Actively engaging students in research in early stages of medical training could help to direct students towards a scientific career and contribute to creating the next generation of physicianscientists. Leiden University Medical Center (LUMC) implemented an extracurricular Honors program with a fundamental orientation towards research. The program starts in the second year of medical training and is comprised of four different tracks in order to attract multiple types of students with different interests. All four tracks offer students scholarly experiences, but differ in content and amount of provided structure. The LUMC Honors program has a clear goal to develop future physician-scientists, and combined with its unique multiple-track model, the program accommodates about 70 students (25%) each year. The number of students in the program has grown and students' experiences are positive.
