“…As a result, approaching the research requirement from the same structured process as many of the other residency components may help increase resident confidence and competence in the research process. Recognizing that this may not be feasible at all institutions, pairing residents with mentors experienced in the research process and motivated to produce high quality research may help achieve similar endpoints as it has with practitioners 11. Additionally, complementing this mentorship with individuals with expertise in targeted areas, such as biostatistics or administrative data queries, may further facilitate movement through the various stages of the research process.…”

ObjectiveTo identify barriers to completing and publishing pharmacy residency research projects from the perspective of program directors and former residents.MethodsThis was a cross-sectional survey of pharmacy residency program directors and former post-graduate year one and two residents. Directors of pharmacy residency programs whose residents present their projects at the Western States Conference (n=216) were invited to complete an online survey and asked to forward the survey to former residents of their program in 2009, 2010, or 2011. The survey focused on four broad areas: 1) demographic characteristics of the residency programs, directors, and residents; 2) perceived value of the research project; 3) perceived barriers with various stages of research; and 4) self-identified barriers to successful research project completion and publication.ResultsA total of 32 program directors and 98 residents completed the survey. The minority of programs offered formal residency research training. Both groups reported value in the research project as part of residency training. Significantly more directors reported obtaining institutional review board approval and working through the publication process as barriers to the research project (46.7% vs. 22.6% and 73.3% vs. 43.0%, respectively p<0.05) while residents were more likely to report collecting and analyzing the data as barriers (34.4% vs. 13.3% and 39.8% vs. 20.0%, respectively, p<0.05). Both groups self-identified time constraints and limitations in study design or quality of the study as barriers. However, while program directors also indicated lack of resident motivation (65.5%), residents reported lack of mentorship or program structural issues (43.3%).ConclusionsOverall, while both groups found value in the residency research projects, there were barriers identified by both groups. The results of this study may provide areas of opportunity for improving the quality and publication rates of resident research projects.

“…Publication of pharmacy resident research projects is low and the number of publications does not appear to be increasing despite the rise in residency positions. 23–28 There is much that can be learned from the current state of resident research including their publication rate and residency-trained individual’s publication contributions to biomedical journals in the ensuing years after residency completion.…”

“…37 Low submission and publication rate may be a result of poor research design, unoriginal projects, or not completing a research manuscript. 27,28,37 Small study samples often result in insufficient power to detect differences and make meaningful conclusions. Residents often have inadequate time to devote to research and complete a meaningful project within one year.…”

Practice-related projects and pharmacy practice research are requirements to complete postgraduate pharmacy residency programs. Many residents will complete residencies without fully developing the skills needed to perform research required for new clinical and academic positions. Many studies have quantified successes and identified characteristics that may be associated with successful resident publication. There are many benefits to gaining research and publication skills during residency training for the resident, preceptor/mentors, and the residency program. Published works have also suggested approaches than can be taken to improve research within a residency program. The aims of this article are to discuss the publication rates of resident research projects, suggest ways to improve residency research, review benefits of residency research, and briefly review research training alternatives.

“…In general, less than 15% of pharmacy residents publish findings of their residency projects. 12–17 Numerous studies have described the barriers to publish resident projects. 13,18–23 Few studies which evaluate resident improvement in research knowledge and ability exist.…”

Purpose The impact of resident research publication on early-career publication success was evaluated. Methods This study included a retrospective cohort of pharmacy residents’ abstracts presented at the Great Lakes Pharmacy Resident Conference (GLPRC). Published residency research projects at GLPRC were matched 1:1 to unpublished projects. Residents were followed forward for five years to identify early career publications (post-residency publication-positive) versus no publications (post-residency publication-negative). The following characteristics of post-residency publication-positive and publication-negative residents were compared; publication of residency project, university-affiliated residencies, median number and interquartile range of coinvestigators, presence or absence of a physician coinvestigators, highest nonphysician H-index of coinvestigators, and nonphysician H-index ≥ 1 for any coinvestigator (indicating that a coinvestigator has previously published and been cited). Results A total of 152 abstracts were reviewed (76 published and 76 unpublished projects). Using a predefined systematic search strategy, 55 former residents had a postresidency publication within 5 years after presenting their project at the GLPRC. Of the former residents who published their residency project, 38 (50%) were postresidency publication-positive, while 17 former residents (22.4%) who did not publish their residency research project were postresidency publication positive. Univariate and multivariate analyses revealed that publication of the pharmacy resident research project and a university-affiliated residency program was positively associated with postresidency publication success. Conclusions Pharmacy residents who published their residency research project after its presentation at GLPRC were twice as likely to have a publication success within five years compared with residents who did not publish their residency project. A university-affiliated residency was associated with postresidency publication success within five year after project presentation.
