“…Much of the existing literature examining perceptions and attitudes toward research among medical students was completed before Step 1's transition to pass/fail or was limited to medical students outside of the United States [20][21][22]. Articles that did explore these factors within the US focused on one specialty and did not identify specific factors contributing to students' success in completing research [23].…”

The purpose of this study was to identify student-reported institutional facilitators and barriers to successful research experiences at a single United States allopathic institution. Residency applications have increasingly become more competitive, and with the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE)Step 1 exam's transition to pass/fail, factors such as research experience and outcomes may become more important to increase residency application competitiveness. This study sought to explore factors that impact successful research experiences leading to tangible outcomes for medical students at our medical school, the Joe R. & Teresa Lozano Long School of Medicine. MethodsA cross-sectional survey was developed and administered via REDCap to 853 students in May 2022. Survey question domains included demographics, past and present research participation, perceived barriers/facilitators to research, tangible outcomes (e.g., publications and posters), and overall satisfaction with research comparing subjectively "best" and "worst" experiences. The Institutional Review Board (IRB) deemed this project as non-regulated research. ResultsWe had a 24% (n = 204/853) response rate. The responses were distributed equally among the four classes. A big portion of the participants (71%, n = 59/83) identified a tangible outcome as the most important measure of success. Regarding facilitators, students identified having a mentor (89%, n = 165/184) and departmental connections (85%, n = 156/184) as the most important when looking for a project. Barriers included SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound) lacking in 31% (n = 24/75) of worst projects, followed by a clear timeline in 29% (n = 22/76) and hours of commitment in 27% (n = 21/78). The best projects were more likely to have resulted in a publication (61% (27/44) vs. 32% (14/44)) or have a poster (64% (28/44) vs. 36% (16/44)). ConclusionsMedical students are interested in participating in research, with important facilitators including mentorship and departmental connections. Modifiable variables include lack of clear timelines, well-defined roles and responsibilities, and time commitments. This information may be useful for faculty who mentor medical students or medical schools interested in designing medical student research programs.

Objective: To assess self-directed learning among medical students and their approach towards seeking medical evidence. Method: The cross-sectional study was conducted from November 30, 2021, to June 30, 2022, at the Baqai Medical University, Karachi, and comprised first to fifth year medical students of either gender. Data was collected using a structured online questionnaire which also included questions from the self-directed learning instrument. Data was analysed using SPSS 21. Results: Of the 250 students approached, 159(63.6%) responded were received; 102(64.2%) females and 57(35.8%) males. The overall mean age was 21.78±1.72 years, with 88(54.1%) subjects aged >21 years. Majority 127(79.9%) participants scored above average on the self-directed learning instrument scale, while 131(84.2%) showed satisfactory approach towards evidence-based medicine. Students with better attitude towards self-directed learning were more likely to have satisfactory approach towards evidence-based medicine, but this relationship was not significant (p=0.136). Conclusion: Medical students were found to be keen to adopt self-directed learning and practice evidence-based medicine though they have not been formally exposed to it. Key Words: Evidence-based medicine, self-directed learning as topic, Students, Medical.

Introdução: A prática da Medicina Baseada em Evidências exige o desenvolvimento de uma Educação Médica que priorize uma aptidão crítica adquirida ao longo da formação acadêmica. O desenvolvimento de pesquisas científicas apresenta-se como um caminho promissor para se alcançar esse fim. Objetivo: Identificar a percepção dos estudantes de Medicina sobre pesquisa científica. Métodos: Estudo de revisão integrativa utilizando os descritores “students, medical”, “research”, com o operador booleano AND, nas bases de dados PubMed/Medline, LILACS e SciELO. Resultado: Identificou-se 161 estudos dos quais 11 foram elegíveis e incluídos. A metodologia observacional do tipo transversal foi predominante, com prevalência de estudantes do sexo feminino (n=6) entre o público-alvo e abrangência de 15 países, em sua maioria na Ásia (n=6). Uma percepção positiva (n=9) em relação à pesquisa se sobrepôs a uma visão negativa. As percepções reconhecidas perfizeram um total de 24 descrições, que foram agrupadas em quatro categorias: habilidade, carreira profissional, sentimento e qualidade. Conclusão: Ainda que exista uma diversidade de sistemas educacionais na área da Medicina ao nível global, os estudantes dessa graduação compartilham perspectivas comuns sobre pesquisa. O reconhecimento da importância da realização de pesquisas está associado a progressão profissional e a aquisição de habilidades aplicáveis a rotina clínica, em detrimento a uma percepção negativa discreta sobretudo de cunho emocional.
