Evaluating the research productivity of cardiothoracic surgery residents during their training and early career is crucial for tracking their academic development. To this end, the training pathway of residents and the characteristics of their program in relation to their productivity were evaluated.
Alumni lists from integrated 6-year thoracic surgery (I-6) and traditional thoracic surgery residency programs were collected. A Python script was used to search PubMed for publications and the iCite database for citations from each trainee. Publications during a 20-year time span were stratified by the year of publication in relation to the trainee's graduation from thoracic surgery residency. Trainees were analyzed by training program type, institutional availability of a cardiothoracic surgery T32 training grant, and protected academic development time.
A total of 741 cardiothoracic surgery graduates (I-6, 70; traditional, 671) spanning 1971 to 2021 from 57 programs published >23,000 manuscripts. I-6 trainees published significantly more manuscripts during medical school and residency compared with traditional trainees. Trainees at institutions with cardiothoracic surgery T32 training grants published significantly more manuscripts than those at non-T32 institutions (13 vs 9; P = .0048). I-6 trainees published more manuscripts at programs with dedicated academic development time compared with trainees at programs without protected time (22 vs 9; P = .004).
I-6 trainees publish significantly more manuscripts during medical school and residency compared with their traditional colleagues. Trainees at institutions with T32 training grants and dedicated academic development time publish a higher number of manuscripts than trainees without those opportunities.
评估心胸外科住院医师在培训和早期职业生涯中的研究成果对于跟踪他们的学术发展至关重要。为此，评估了住院医师的培训途径以及他们的项目与生产力相关的特征。
收集了 6 年综合胸外科（I-6）和传统胸外科住院医师培训项目的校友名单。使用 Python 脚本在 PubMed 上搜索出版物，并在 iCite 数据库中搜索每个受训者的引文。在 20 年的时间跨度内，根据受训者从胸外科住院医师培训毕业的年份，将出版物分为发表年份。根据培训项目类型、机构是否获得心胸外科 T32 培训资助以及受保护的学术发展时间对受训者进行分析。
共有 741 名心胸外科毕业生（I-6，70；传统，671）来自 57 个项目，发表了超过 23000 篇论文，跨越 1971 年至 2021 年。I-6 受训者在医学院和住院医师期间发表的论文明显多于传统受训者。在有胸外科 T32 培训资助的机构工作的受训者发表的论文明显多于没有 T32 机构的受训者（13 比 9；P =.0048）。与没有受保护时间的项目相比，有专门学术发展时间的项目中的 I-6 受训者发表的论文更多（22 比 9；P =.004）。
与传统同事相比，I-6 受训者在医学院和住院医师期间发表的论文明显更多。在有 T32 培训资助和专门学术发展时间的机构工作的受训者发表的论文数量高于没有这些机会的受训者。
