The Foundation for Anesthesia Education and Research Medical Student Anesthesia Research Fellowship (MSARF) program is an 8-week program that pairs medical students with anesthesiologists performing anesthesia-related research. This study evaluated the proportion of students who published an article from their work, as well as the percentage of students who entered anesthesiology residency programs.
A list of previous MSARF participants (2005 to 2012), site, and project information was obtained. Searches for publications were performed using PubMed. The primary outcome was the publication rate for MSARF projects. The MSARF abstract-to-publication ratio was compared with the percentage of abstracts presented at biomedical meetings that resulted in publication as estimated by a Cochrane review (44%). For students who had graduated from medical school, match lists from the students' medical schools were reviewed for specialty choice.
Forty-two percent of the 346 MSARF projects were subsequently published. There was no difference between the MSARF abstract-to-publication ratio and the publication rate of articles from abstracts presented at scientific meetings (P = 0.57). Thirty percent (n = 105; 95% CI, 25 to 35%) of all the MSARF students were authors on a publication. Fifty-eight percent of the students for whom residency match data (n = 255) were available matched into anesthesiology residencies (95% CI, 52 to 64%).
The MSARF program resulted in many students being included as a co-author on a published article; the majority of these students entered anesthesiology residency programs. Future research should determine whether the program has a long-term impact on the development of academic anesthesiologists.
麻醉教育与研究基金会医学生麻醉研究奖学金（MSARF）项目为期8周，旨在将医学生与从事麻醉相关研究的麻醉医生配对。本研究评估了发表其研究成果文章的学生比例，以及进入麻醉学住院医师培训项目的学生百分比。
获取了之前MSARF参与者（2005年至2012年）的名单、研究地点和项目信息。使用PubMed进行文献检索。主要结局是MSARF项目的发表率。将MSARF摘要发表率与Cochrane综述估计的在生物医学会议上发表的摘要占比（44%）进行比较。对于已从医学院毕业的学生，查阅其所在医学院的匹配名单以了解专业选择情况。
346个MSARF项目中有42%随后发表。MSARF摘要发表率与在科学会议上发表的摘要文章发表率之间无差异（P = 0.57）。所有MSARF学生中有30%（n = 105；95% CI，25%至35%）是发表文章的作者。有住院医师匹配数据（n = 255）的学生中，58%匹配到麻醉学住院医师培训项目（95% CI，52%至64%）。
MSARF项目使许多学生成为发表文章的共同作者；这些学生中的大多数进入了麻醉学住院医师培训项目。未来的研究应确定该项目是否对学术麻醉医生的发展有长期影响。
