“…[18][19][20] Pharmacy residents completing a mentored research program that covers topics such as research plan development, data analysis and manuscript development are more likely to publish their project. [21][22][23][24][25] These programs should incorporate both didactic and experiential pedagogical strategies.…”

Objective. To characterize the practices and perceptions of recent post-graduate year 2 (PGY2) critical care pharmacy (CCP) residents surrounding the completion and publication of their primary research project.Methods. Potential factors and perceptions influencing primary research project publication success were identified and incorporated in a validated electronic survey distributed to 2011 and 2012 PGY2 CCP residency program graduates.Results. Among the 94/124 (76%) respondents, (26%) had published their research project (67% were first authors; 50% were successful on first submission), while one-third (36%) still planned to pursue publication, and (38%) had no plans for their manuscript. Factors more commonly reported by publishing (vs. non-publishing) PGY2 graduates included: publication of their PGY1 research project, any Conclusions. Only one-quarter of PGY2 CCP residents published their primary research project. PGY2 programs should consider those factors associated with research project publication success when formulating strategies to increase resident publication rates.

“…Billups and colleagues compared resident research knowledge, confidence, and attitude after completing a structured research program focused on research education and mentor support to a non-randomized national control group 21. Residents in the intervention group reported a 48% increase in research confidence scores compared to a 15% improvement in the control group (p<0.001); however, improvements in research knowledge did not differ significantly (absolute score improvement 11.8% vs. 11.3%, p=0.935) between these groups 21. More research is needed to assess whether residency-trained pharmacists have functional research skills to meet the demands for research and research mentorship in their post-residency positions.…”

“…Nonetheless this subjectively low proportion of residents publishing projects may, in part, suggest inadequate research training and mentorship during residency training. To this point, studies examining improvements in residents’ research knowledge, abilities, and attitudes have been mixed 19,20,21. This is important because a majority of residency graduates go on to be involved in research along with assisting other learners with research projects 22…”

Objective:To explore influences of co-investigators on the successful publication of a pharmacy residency project.Methods:We analyzed published and non-published research presented at a regional pharmacy conference. Abstracts were matched 1:1 based on state and abstract year. We assessed university affiliation, number, degree, and H-Index of co-investigators on the abstract. Descriptive and inferential analyses were used to identify variables associated with resident publication.Results:University-affiliated programs (p=0.015), highest H-Index of a non-physician co-investigator (p=0.002), and positive H-Index (≥1) of a non-physician co-investigator (p=0.017) were significant predictors of resident publication on univariate analyses. There were no differences in the number of co-investigators (p=0.051), projects with physician co-investigators (p=1.000), or projects with Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) or Master of Science (MS) co-investigators (p=0.536) between published and non-published projects. Multivariate analysis found that the highest H-index of non-physician co-investigator remained significant as a predictor to resident publication (odds ratio (OR) 1.09, 95% Confidence Interval (CI) 1.01-1.17).Conclusions:The quality of co-investigators, as measured by an increasing H-Index, is associated with the successful publication of residency projects. More emphasis may need to be placed on resident research co-investigator selection and training to prepare pharmacy residents for research and scholarly activity.

“…For residents, both PGY1 and PGY2 programs have implemented strategies such as longitudinal research experiences and residency research advisory boards to enhance training, knowledge, and attitudes and to improve rates of research completion, publication, and presentation at meetings . A unique practice‐based research training network in the Ohio State University's multisite community and ambulatory pharmacy residency program doubled its resident publication rates by coordinating and using the combined expertise and experience of the faculty members and preceptors .…”

“…Both resident research quality and publication rates have been described as low. Although a resident's research confidence and self‐reported abilities improve after residency, objective measurements of research knowledge and skills are poor . The opportunity to enhance the research and scholarly skills of both pharmacy students and residents is tremendous.…”

Regardless of practice setting, it is imperative that pharmacists be able to either participate in generating new knowledge or use the ever-expanding body of literature to guide patient care. However, competing priorities in Pharm.D. curricula and residency training programs have resulted in limited emphasis on acquiring research and scholarly skills. Factors likely contributing to this reduced focus include the lack of curricular and postgraduate training standards emphasizing the development of research skills, time to commit to scholarly activity, and accessibility to experienced mentors. Strategies for increasing scholarly activity for pharmacy students and residents should therefore continue to be a focus of professional degree and residency training programs. Several resources are available for academic planners, program directors, and institutions to augment scholarly experience for pharmacy trainees and clinicians. This commentary highlights the importance of providing research opportunities for students and residents, describes the potential barriers to these activities, and provides recommendations on how to increase the instruction and mentoring of trainees to generate and use research.
