To determine the current status of research experience in psychiatry residency programs across Canada.
Coordinators of Psychiatric Education (COPE) resident representatives from all 17 psychiatry residency programs in Canada were asked to complete a survey regarding research training requirements in their programs.
Among the 17 COPE representatives, 15 completed the survey, representing 88% of the Canadian medical schools that have a psychiatry residency program. Among the 15 programs, 11 (73%) require residents to conduct a scholarly activity to complete residency. Some of these programs incorporated such a requirement in the past 5 years. Ten respondents (67%) reported availability of official policy and (or) guidelines on resident research requirements. Among the 11 programs that have a research requirement, 10 (91%) require residents to complete 1 scholarly activity; 1 requires completion of 2 scholarly activities. Eight (53%) residency programs reported having a separate research track. All of the programs have a research coordinator and 14 (93%) programs provide protected time to residents for conducting research. The 3 most common types of scholarly activities that qualify for the mandatory research requirement are a full independent project (10 programs), a quality improvement project (8 programs), and assisting in a faculty project (8 programs). Six programs expect their residents to present their final work in a departmental forum. None of the residency programs require publication of residents' final work.
The current status of the research experience during psychiatry residency in Canada is encouraging but there is heterogeneity across the programs.
确定加拿大各地精神病学住院医师培训项目的研究经验现状。
来自加拿大所有17个精神病学住院医师培训项目的精神病学教育协调员（COPE）驻地代表被要求完成一项关于其项目研究培训要求的调查。
在17名COPE代表中，15人完成了调查，占设有精神病学住院医师培训项目的加拿大医学院校的88%。在这15个项目中，11个（73%）要求住院医师开展一项学术活动以完成住院医师培训。其中一些项目在过去5年内纳入了这一要求。10名受访者（67%）报告有关于住院医师研究要求的官方政策和（或）指南。在有研究要求的11个项目中，10个（91%）要求住院医师完成1项学术活动；1个要求完成2项学术活动。8个（53%）住院医师培训项目报告设有单独的研究轨道。所有项目都有一名研究协调员，14个（93%）项目为住院医师提供开展研究的受保护时间。符合强制性研究要求的3种最常见学术活动类型是完整的独立项目（10个项目）、质量改进项目（8个项目）和协助教师项目（8个项目）。6个项目期望其住院医师在部门论坛上展示其最终成果。没有一个住院医师培训项目要求住院医师发表其最终成果。
加拿大精神病学住院医师培训期间的研究经验现状令人鼓舞，但各项目之间存在异质性。
