Academic research productivity is limited by strenuous resident and faculty schedules but nevertheless is imperative to the growth and success of our discipline. The authors report institutional experience with their clinical research fellowship model, providing two positions per year.
A critical analysis of research productivity was performed for all trainees, faculty, and research fellows from 2000 to 2015. Academic productivity was determined by the number of peer-reviewed publications, podium presentations, and h-index. Academic fate of previous research fellows was also noted. During the 16-year timeframe, 484 articles were published in print. Notably, 92 articles were published from 2000 to 2007 and 392 articles were published from 2008 to 2015 (p = 0.0066), demonstrating linear growth after instituting the research fellowship. In addition, 33 articles were published from 2002 to 2004 before leadership change, 47 from 2005 to 2007 after leadership change but before fellowship, and 58 from 2008 to 2010 in the first few years of the fellowship (p = 0.0204).
Overall, 39.9 percent of publications appeared in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, with a total of 77 different peer-reviewed journal inclusions. American Association of Plastic Surgeons, American Society of Plastic Surgeons, and Northeastern Society of Plastic Surgeons podium presentations totaled 143 between 2005 and 2015. Of the eight previous fellows who applied into integrated and independent programs, 100 percent have matched.
Incorporation of a formalized research fellowship into a plastic surgery program can drastically increase clinical research contribution in a reproducible fashion.
学术研究生产力受到住院医师和教员紧张日程安排的限制，但对于我们学科的发展和成功而言，它仍然至关重要。作者报告了其临床研究奖学金模式的机构经验，该模式每年提供两个职位。
对2000年至2015年期间所有学员、教员和研究员的研究生产力进行了批判性分析。学术生产力由同行评审出版物的数量、大会发言以及h指数来确定。还记录了以前研究员的学术归宿。在这16年的时间里，共发表了484篇印刷文章。值得注意的是，2000年至2007年发表了92篇文章，2008年至2015年发表了392篇文章（p = 0.0066），表明设立研究奖学金后呈线性增长。此外，在领导层变更之前的2002年至2004年发表了33篇文章，领导层变更之后但在设立奖学金之前的2005年至2007年发表了47篇文章，在奖学金设立后的头几年即2008年至2010年发表了58篇文章（p = 0.0204）。
总体而言，39.9%的出版物发表在《整形与重建外科》杂志上，总共涵盖77种不同的同行评审期刊。2005年至2015年期间，美国整形外科学会、美国整形外科医师协会和东北整形外科医师协会的大会发言总计143次。在之前申请综合和独立项目的八名研究员中，100%都已匹配成功。
将正式的研究奖学金纳入整形外科项目可以以可重复的方式大幅增加临床研究贡献。
