Fostering skills in research is important for medical schools. This scoping review examined undergraduate curricular structures devoted to research training and their outcomes. For the sixty papers meeting inclusion criteria, descriptive statistics and a thematic analysis were conducted. Forty (67%) articles described US programs, with 30 (50%) being mandatory. Timing of research training was variable across included studies with the majority (58%) describing embedded longitudinal curricula. Reported benefits included enhanced knowledge, improved research and writing skills, clarity around career plans, and mentoring relationships. There are many curricular structures for undergraduate research training, but no high-quality evidence to support particular designs.
培养研究技能对医学院校很重要。本综述研究了致力于研究培训的本科课程结构及其成果。对符合纳入标准的60篇论文进行了描述性统计和主题分析。40篇(67%)文章描述了美国的项目,其中30篇(50%)是必修课。纳入研究中研究培训的时间各不相同,大多数(58%)描述的是嵌入式纵向课程。报告的益处包括知识增加、研究和写作技能提高、职业规划更加清晰以及建立指导关系。本科研究培训有多种课程结构,但没有高质量的证据支持特定的设计。
