The surgeon-scientist brings a unique perspective to surgical research. The Association of Academic Surgeons and Society of University Surgeons foster the development of surgeon-scientists through foundation awards to residents and junior faculty. We sought to evaluate the academic success of surgeons who received an Association for Academic Surgery/Society of University Surgeons award.
Information was collected for individuals who received a resident or junior faculty research award from the Association for Academic Surgery or Society of University Surgeons. Google Scholar, Scopus, and the National Institutes of Health Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools: Expenditures and Results were used to assess scholarly achievements.
Eighty-two resident awardees were included, 31 (38%) of whom were female. Thirteen (24%) are now professors, 12 (22%) are division chiefs, and 4 (7%) are department chairs. Resident awardees have a median of 886 citations (interquartile range 237-2,111) and an H-index of 14 (interquartile range 7-23). Seven (13%) went on to receive K08/K23 awards, and 7 (13%) received R01s, with a total of about $200 million in National Institutes of Health funding (79-fold return on investment). Thirty-four junior faculty awardees were included, 10 (29%) of whom were female. Thirteen (38%) are now professors, 12 (35%) are division chiefs, and 7 (21%) are department chairs. Faculty awardees have a median of 2,617 citations (interquartile range 1,343-7,857) and an H-index of 25 (interquartile range 18-49). Four (12%) received K08 or K23 awards, and 10 (29%) received R01s, with about $139 million in National Institutes of Health funding (98-fold return on investment).
Association for Academic Surgery/Society of University Surgeons research awardees experience high degrees of success in academic surgery. Most resident awardees pursue fellowship training and remain in academic surgery. A high percentage of both faculty and resident awardees hold leadership positions and successfully achieve National Institutes of Health funding.
外科医生科学家为外科研究带来了独特的视角。美国外科学院（Association of Academic Surgeons）和美国大学外科医师学会（Society of University Surgeons）通过向住院医师和初级教员提供基金会奖项来促进外科医生科学家的发展。我们试图评估获得美国外科学院/美国大学外科医师学会奖的外科医生的学术成就。
为从美国外科学院或美国大学外科医师学会获得住院医师或初级教员研究奖的个人收集信息。使用谷歌学术、Scopus 和美国国立卫生研究院研究组合在线报告工具：支出和结果来评估学术成就。
共纳入 82 名住院医师奖获得者，其中 31 名（38%）为女性。13 名（24%）现在是教授，12 名（22%）是科室主任，4 名（7%）是系主任。住院医师奖获得者的中位数引用次数为 886 次（四分位距 237-2111），H 指数为 14（四分位距 7-23）。7 人（13%）继续获得 K08/K23 奖，7 人（13%）获得 R01 奖，获得约 2 亿美元的美国国立卫生研究院资助（投资回报率为 79 倍）。共纳入 34 名初级教员奖获得者，其中 10 名（29%）为女性。13 名（38%）现在是教授，12 名（35%）是科室主任，7 名（21%）是系主任。教员奖获得者的中位数引用次数为 2617 次（四分位距 1343-7857），H 指数为 25（四分位距 18-49）。4 人（12%）获得 K08 或 K23 奖，10 人（29%）获得 R01 奖，获得约 1.39 亿美元的美国国立卫生研究院资助（投资回报率为 98 倍）。
美国外科学院/美国大学外科医师学会研究奖获得者在外科学术领域取得了很高的成就。大多数住院医师奖获得者继续接受研究员培训并留在学术外科领域。教员奖获得者和住院医师奖获得者的领导职位比例都很高，并成功获得了美国国立卫生研究院的资助。
