The University of South Dakota Sanford School of Medicine Internal Medicine residency implemented a program to enhance scholarship among residents. This residency is part of a small Mid-Western community-based school.Background: A Director of Research was hired and developed a structured approach consisting of: 1. Independent study regarding research methods and statistical testing and 2. Mentoring of residents and faculty in scholarly pursuits starting in the first months of residency.Methods: Scholarship for two cohorts of residents for years July 2011–2014 and January 2014–2017 were followed. Products included papers accepted/published and papers accepted/presented at national or international meetings.Results: 7 (14.8%) of 47 residents in the first cohort published 12 papers (0.25 papers/resident) with 18 faculty as co-authors (1.5/paper). 20 (43.4%) of 46 residents in the second cohort (structured program) published 39 papers (0.85 papers/resident) with 80 faculty as co-authors (2.1/paper). The difference in papers was significant by chi-square analysis.Conclusion: A structured program requiring independent study in conjunction with individualized mentoring of scholarship starting early in the first postgraduate year was successful in significantly increasing the scholarly activity of our community-based internal medicine residents and faculty. With this program, the percentage of residents publishing exceeds national statistics recently reported.

“…In 1994, the RRC-IM established a new requirement that ''prior to the completion of training, each resident must demonstrate acceptable scholarly activity,'' defined as ''original research, comprehensive case reports or review of clinical and research topics (Levine, Hebert, & Wright, 2005). Takahashi O et al in 2009 concluded that majority of residents thought that research activity was worthwhile and that participation in research activity was associated with higher levels of satisfaction with residency training (Takahashi et al, 2009). Till 2011, approximately 67% of the resident research grants funded work has been published in high impact factor journals.…”

“…Furthermore, it has also been shown that optimal performance in daily clinical practice requires a wide range of skills, and accordingly, doctors with scientific training during their medical education usually express better abilities regarding making decisions through using information collected from different sources. Several studies have targeted the relationship between the engagement of research activities by medical students and medical education and it has been found that there was a positive impact on the motivation of medical students 8,9 .…”

Including medical students in research has positive outcome in medical career and leads to build scientific personality of students to cope with fast changes in their field. The present study was conducted to determine the research needs of medical students as perceived by them. The methodology involved making a team of medical students who showed the interest of joining research. Regular meetings to set up the strategy of research process were conducted. A special group on face book was created to have direct contact with group members and to discuss on line any issue or inquiry. The research group sets up the study questionnaire and validates it through conducting a pilot study. The questionnaire included various parts: demographic part, perception part to evaluate how the students believe about the research in terms of its importance and barriers and the research needs part. Study findings showed that 682 medical students participated in the study. Male students were more likely to participate than female students (53.3%-44.7%). The perception of medical students for joining research was positive for the following variables: joining research increases scientific knowledge and expands thinking horizon, joining research increases development of critical and analytical thinking. Students expressed less positive perception for: A successful physician is an experienced researcher and Medical school curriculum as a prerequisite for graduation. Most of students did not agree with: joining research consumes time on the expense of curricular studies. According to students, research needs included access to facilities, funding, lack of research supervisors and lack of good support from laboratory staff. Students expressed high interest in clinical research (81.4%). Clinical research preferences were more for medical research. About 36% of students expressed their thought to have adequate laboratory skills to experience research, about 77% of students believed that methodology steps have to be included on their curriculum. About 96% of students expressed their interest and readiness to participate in research. Finally, the data of our study determined predictors of perceptions and research needs of medical students for research. Taken together, we concluded that there is a high interest and readiness of our medical students to participate in research and they are aware of research impacts on the future of their career. It is recommended that decision makers at Jordan University of Science and Technology to take proper measures and actions to offer the chances to include medical students in research in terms of including proper research courses and establishing student research laboratories.
