AI Article Synopsis
- The University of Hawai'i pediatrics department established a Residency Research Requirement and Program (RRRP) in 2001 to enhance residents' understanding of the scientific process in medicine.
- Research over 14 years showed that this program led to a significant increase in both resident publications and faculty participation in research projects.
- Additionally, residents pursuing fellowship training were more likely to publish, indicating that the RRRP effectively encourages involvement in research and the development of important academic skills.
Article Abstract
Involvement in a research project can teach training physicians about the scientific process involved in medicine. For this reason, the University of Hawai'i pediatrics department developed a Residency Research Requirement and Program (RRRP) in 2001. We studied a 14-year time period before and after the RRRP was initiated, and found a greater then ten-fold increase in resident publications and faculty involvement in these projects. Many of these manuscripts were the result of resident collaboration and this also increased significantly. The residents who later went into fellowship training were found to be more likely to publish their work. An RRRP encourages residents and faculty to become involved in research publications and other scholarly activities. Its development may help to motivate training physicians to learn important research skills.
