“…In the United States, the National Institute of Health has strongly endorsed the role of the clinical pharmacist as an investigator, and there has been a substantial increase in pharmacist-directed research, as shown by the growth in funded grants and scientific publications [ 15 ]. The American College of Clinical Pharmacy (ACCP) Research Institute conducted a Mentored Research Boot Camp, Focused Investigator Training (FIT) Program, and reported that this program was associated with a significant increase in attendees’ self-efficacy in obtaining external research funding [ 16 ]. Overholser et al [ 17 ] reported that taking a two-credit elective course in clinical research increased pharmacy students’ interest in pursuing a career in clinical research.…”

Pharmacy Students’ Knowledge and Attitude toward Registration Trials and Clinical Research: A Survey in a Japanese University Hospital

Clinical research plays a fundamental role in establishing new treatments. Clinical research coordinators are considered essential in clinical research, and medical professionals such as pharmacists often take on this role. Pharmacy students can be considered future candidates for this task. We used questionnaires to survey the knowledge of and attitudes toward registration trials and clinical research of pharmacy students at Tokushima University Hospital. All pharmacy students (103) to whom questionnaires were sent responded. Almost all respondents were aware of registration trials and clinical research. More than 90% were aware of the existence of clinical research coordinators, and about half (48.6%) understood their role. In clinical research terminology, most respondents were aware of informed consent and related issues, but fewer than 20% were aware of more practical things. In total, 29.1% and 40.8% of the respondents were willing to carry out and coordinate research. These findings suggest that pharmacy students have basic knowledge of clinical research and that many students are willing to carry out and coordinate clinical research. More practical exposure to clinical research may help to strengthen their future contribution. Further studies may help to determine how to provide education on registration trials and clinical research to pharmacy students.

“…In fact, a survey of ACCP members found that approximately two-thirds of respondents working in positions with heavy research responsibilities did not have formal research training. 20 While many individuals have been very successful in their research career despite minimal formal training, the question remains about the best way to meet these educational needs of trainees.…”

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.

“…5 Postgraduate Year Two (PGY2) accreditation standards vary whether conduction of a research project is explicitly required. 6 However, many pharmacists enter positions where scholarly activity is expected with only PharmD and one or two years of residency training to teach current residents numerous skills required to conduct practice-based research 7–10 which can lead to a cycle of inadequately trained pharmacists training future residents. 11 Description and quantification of the resident research training experience aids in residency program improvement, comparison, and promotion.…”

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.
