The attainment of fundamental research skills to create and disseminate new knowledge is imperative for the advancement of pharmacy practice. Research training is an important component of postgraduate residency training; however, the traditional model of performing residency research has several limitations that have hindered the ability of residents to complete high-quality research projects. Therefore, our institution developed and implemented the flipped residency research model with the 2013-2014 pharmacy practice residency class.
The flipped residency research model modifies the research timeline to better align research activities with residents' abilities at specific time points during the year. In the 4 years following implementation of the flipped residency research model, our institution found improvements in a number of areas pertaining to the research process compared with an evaluation of the 7 years prior to implementation. A decrease in the number of reviews required from institutional review boards was observed, resulting in improved institutional review board efficiency. The flipped residency research model also addressed limitations surrounding manuscript development and submission, as demonstrated by an improved publication rate. Additionally, residents who participated in the flipped residency research model self-reported increased comfort with research-related abilities associated with study design, implementation, manuscript development and submission, and biostatistics.
The modified research timeline of the flipped residency research model better aligns research activities with resident experiences and abilities. This realignment has translated to demonstrable impact in the success of residency projects and dissemination of results. Research is needed to investigate the impact of the flipped residency research model on longer term scholarly success.
获得创建和传播新知识的基础研究技能对于推进药学实践至关重要。研究培训是研究生住院医师培训的重要组成部分；然而，传统的住院医师研究模式存在一些限制，阻碍了住院医师完成高质量研究项目的能力。因此，我们机构在 2013-2014 年的药学实践住院医师培训课程中开发并实施了翻转住院医师研究模式。
翻转住院医师研究模式修改了研究时间表，以使研究活动更好地与住院医师在一年中特定时间点的能力保持一致。在实施翻转住院医师研究模式的 4 年内，与实施前的 7 年相比，我们机构在许多与研究过程相关的领域都发现了改进。观察到机构审查委员会所需的审查次数减少，从而提高了机构审查委员会的效率。翻转住院医师研究模式还解决了围绕手稿开发和提交的限制，表现为出版率的提高。此外，参与翻转住院医师研究模式的住院医师报告说，他们在研究相关能力方面的舒适度有所提高，这些能力与研究设计、实施、手稿开发和提交以及生物统计学有关。
翻转住院医师研究模式修改后的研究时间表使研究活动更好地与住院医师的经验和能力保持一致。这种调整转化为住院医师项目的成功和研究结果的传播方面的明显影响。需要进行研究来调查翻转住院医师研究模式对长期学术成功的影响。
