In 2018, a group of Irish emergency medicine (EM) trainees recognised their common interest in collaborative research and the difficulties that trainees can encounter when trying to broaden their research capacity, prompting the beginning of the Irish Trainee Emergency Research Network (ITERN) journey. Trainee-led collaboratives have been shown to be feasible and have the potential to deliver impactful research projects, generating an evidence base that may not have been possible without collaboration. This article describes the successes and achievement of ITERN and describes the processes and challenges that a trainee-led research network can encounter. The authors believe that trainee-led collaboratives can deliver powerful and impactful research for patients and broaden the research capacity of individuals, hospitals, and groups of healthcare professionals.
2018 年，一群爱尔兰急诊医学（EM）实习生意识到他们在协作研究方面的共同兴趣，以及实习生在试图扩大研究能力时可能遇到的困难，这促使爱尔兰实习生紧急研究网络（ITERN）的成立。事实证明，以实习生为主导的合作是可行的，并且有可能开展有影响力的研究项目，为可能无法开展合作的研究提供了证据基础。本文描述了 ITERN 的成功和成就，并描述了以实习生为主导的研究网络可能遇到的过程和挑战。作者认为，以实习生为主导的合作可以为患者提供强大而有影响力的研究，并扩大个人、医院和医疗保健专业人员群体的研究能力。
