Traditionally, surgical residency training is more focused on obtaining surgical skills through a well-established coaching system worldwide. However, constant advances in medical science require surgeons to learn not only surgical skills but also the ability of scientific research to improve clinical practice and future professional development. The study aims to emphasize that professional education in terms of scientific research is also significant for surgical residency training.All residents who had been recruited in a medical center for the surgery residency program between years 2006 and 2015 were evaluated in the study. Generally, every resident is assigned to a mentor since the first year of residency. Then, the mentor would help the resident qualify a 2-step evaluation in terms of scientific research during the residency training program.A total of 193 residents were evaluated in the study. All of them had completed the first step regarding oral presentation of their designated research, and the majority of residents obtained 80 to 90 points that were rated by referees. Overall, 102 residents (52.8%) had completed the second step with the publication of a research manuscript. The percentage of residents who had fulfilled the criteria of this 2-step assessment ranged from 35.3% to 81.8% by year.The continuing education for surgical residents should not be limited in coaching clinical practice. Scientific research is also essential for current surgical residency training, and a formal mentorship program may be beneficial for the future professional development of surgical residents. However, the success of the 2-step evaluation could possibly depend on the career choices of the residents instead of the mentorship program.
传统上，外科住院医师培训更侧重于通过全球成熟的指导体系获得外科技能。然而，医学科学的不断进步要求外科医生不仅要掌握外科技能，还要具备科研能力，以提高临床实践和未来的职业发展。本研究旨在强调，科研方面的专业教育对于外科住院医师培训也很重要。
本研究评估了 2006 年至 2015 年间在一家医学中心参加外科住院医师培训计划的所有住院医师。一般来说，每位住院医师从住院医师培训的第一年开始就会分配给一位导师。然后，导师将帮助住院医师在住院医师培训计划中通过科研的 2 步评估。
共有 193 名住院医师接受了评估。他们都已经完成了指定研究口头报告的第一步，大多数住院医师获得了 80 到 90 分的成绩，由评审人员评分。总体而言，有 102 名住院医师（52.8%）完成了第二步，即发表研究论文。通过年度评估的住院医师人数占比从 35.3%到 81.8%不等，达到这 2 步评估标准。
外科住院医师的继续教育不应局限于指导临床实践。科研对于当前的外科住院医师培训也很重要，正式的导师指导计划可能有助于外科住院医师未来的职业发展。然而，2 步评估的成功可能取决于住院医师的职业选择，而不是导师指导计划。
