Scholarly concentration programs have become a common method to promote student inquiry and independent research in medical schools. Given the high resource requirements of scholarly concentration program implementation, it is important to examine program efficacy. This systematic review examined the impact of scholarly concentration programs on student research productivity.
The authors carried out a literature search to find articles related to scholarly concentration program research productivity outcomes. The inclusion criterion was a method of rigorously evaluating program scholarly productivity. Study rigour was evaluated with the Medical Education Research Study Quality Instrument.
The initial search disclosed 2467 unique records: 78 were considered based on titles and abstracts; eight were considered by scanning references. Eleven papers met the inclusion criteria: all were descriptive; none had a priori hypotheses that examined predictors of medical student research productivity in scholarly concentration programs or prospectively evaluated program impact on student scholarly output.
While few in number and often lacking in rigour, the studies included herein suggest that adequate administrative support, strong mentorship and tailored program characteristics are essential in facilitating student research productivity in scholarly concentration programs. Given the challenges inherent in medical education research, a conceptual framework based on United Way's approach may help program planners and educators address this gap in the evaluation of scholarly concentration programs.
学术集中项目已成为医学院校促进学生探究和独立研究的常用方法。鉴于实施学术集中项目对资源要求较高，考察项目成效很重要。本系统评价探讨了学术集中项目对学生研究产出的影响。
作者进行文献检索以查找与学术集中项目研究产出结果相关的文章。纳入标准为严格评估项目学术产出的方法。采用医学教育研究质量工具评估研究的严谨性。
初步检索得到2467条独特记录：基于标题和摘要筛选出78条；通过浏览参考文献筛选出8条。11篇论文符合纳入标准：均为描述性研究；均未提出先验假设来考察学术集中项目中医学学生研究产出的预测因素，也未前瞻性评估项目对学生学术成果的影响。
尽管本文纳入的研究数量较少且往往缺乏严谨性，但这些研究表明，充足的行政支持、有力的指导和量身定制的项目特点对于促进学术集中项目中学生的研究产出至关重要。鉴于医学教育研究存在的固有挑战，基于联合之路方法的概念框架可能有助于项目规划者和教育工作者弥补学术集中项目评估中的这一差距。
