Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the research experiences and career outcomes of international medical graduates (IMGs) with those of US medical graduates (USMGs) in neurosurgery from 2018 to 2020.
- IMGs had significantly more publications both before and during residency compared to USMGs, indicating higher academic productivity.
- Despite IMGs showing greater early academic appointment rates, there were no significant differences in residency rankings or completion rates of postresidency fellowships between the two groups.
Objective: To evaluate the relationships between Doximity rankings (Doximity, Inc.) of residency programs and 2 new ranking systems based on publication rates and academic pursuits.
Methods: We collected data on 550 neurosurgery graduates over 3 years.
Objective: The aim of this study was to provide a comprehensive assessment of preresidency research and school as predictors of competitive neurosurgery matching and to assess for any correlations between preresidency and intraresidency research productivity.
Methods: Individuals who graduated from US neurosurgery programs from 2018 through 2020 were assessed for medical school, degree (MD, DO, or PhD), preresidency versus intraresidency publications, author order, article type, and neurosurgery matching outcomes.
Results: Medical school ranking (top 50) and the number of published papers (≥3) before intern year were predictors for matching to a top-25 residency program after adjusting for other covariates (p < 0.
Background: The relationship of academic activities before and during neurosurgery residency with fellowship or career outcomes has not been studied completely.
Objective: To assess possible predictors of fellowship and career outcomes among neurosurgery residents.
Methods: US neurosurgery graduates (2018-2020) were assessed retrospectively for peer-reviewed citations of preresidency vs intraresidency publications, author order, and article type.
Objective: Many factors influence an author's choice for journal submission, including journal impact factor and publication speed. These and other bibliometric data points have not been assessed in journals dedicated to neurosurgery.
Methods: Eight leading neurosurgery journals were analyzed to identify original articles and reviews, collected via randomized, stratified sampling per published issue per year from 2016 to 2020.
