OBJECTIVE

Offering undergraduate students research opportunities may enhance their interest in pursuing a surgical career and lead to increased academic productivity. We characterize the benefits of participating in the Trauma Research Associates Program.

DESIGN

A 19-point Web-based survey.

SETTING

Academic Level I Trauma Center.

PARTICIPANTS

A total of 29 active and former members of the Trauma Research Associates Program.

MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Academic activities and predictors associated with interest in a surgical career and research productivity.

RESULTS

Surveys were completed on 26 of 29 (90%) participants. Clinical experience was the most highly ranked motivation to join the program (65%), followed by pursuing a research experience (46%). During their involvement, 73% of participants observed surgical intensive care unit rounds, 65% observed acute care surgery rounds, and 35% observed a surgical procedure in the operating room. In addition, 46% submitted at least one abstract to a surgical meeting coauthored with the Division's faculty. Furthermore, 58% reported that they enrolled in a medical school, whereas 17% pursued a full-time research job. The program influenced the interest in a surgical career in 39% of all members, and 73% reported that they would incorporate research in their medical career. Observing a surgical procedure was independently associated with development of a high interest in a surgical career (adjusted odds ratio: 6.50; 95% CI: 1.09, 38.63; p = 0.04), whereas volunteering for more than 15 hours per week predicted submission of at least 1 abstract to a surgical conference by the participant (adjusted odds ratio: 13.00; 95% CI: 1.27, 133.29; p = 0.03).

CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE

Development of a structured research program for undergraduate students is beneficial to both the participants and sponsoring institution. Undergraduate exposure to academic surgery enhances interest in pursuing a surgical specialty and leads to academic productivity.

目的

为本科生提供研究机会可能会增强他们从事外科职业的兴趣，并提高学术产出。我们对参与创伤研究协会项目的益处进行了描述。

设计

一项基于网络的19分调查。

地点

一级学术创伤中心。

参与者

创伤研究协会项目的29名现任和前任成员。

主要观察指标

与对外科职业的兴趣和研究产出相关的学术活动及预测因素。

结果

29名参与者中有26名（90%）完成了调查。临床经验是加入该项目的最主要动机（65%），其次是寻求研究经验（46%）。在参与期间，73%的参与者观摩了外科重症监护病房查房，65%观摩了急性护理外科查房，35%在手术室观摩了外科手术。此外，46%的参与者至少提交了一篇与该科室教员共同撰写的摘要到外科会议。此外，58%的人报告说他们进入了医学院，而17%的人从事全职研究工作。该项目影响了39%的成员对外科职业的兴趣，73%的人报告说他们会在医疗职业生涯中开展研究。观摩外科手术与对外科职业产生浓厚兴趣独立相关（调整后的优势比：6.50；95%置信区间：1.09，38.63；p = 0.04），而每周志愿服务超过15小时可预测参与者至少向外科会议提交1篇摘要（调整后的优势比：13.00；95%置信区间：1.27，133.29；p = 0.03）。
