Incorporating scientific research into undergraduate medical education is necessary for the quality of future health care. However, providing rigorous research training to a large number of medical students at one institution remains one of the major challenges. The authors studied the impact of a curriculum-based Research Training Program (RTP) for all undergraduate students at Zhejiang University School of Medicine (ZUSM) on research productivity and future research interests.
Medical students (n = 2,213) from ZUSM who completed the course of RTP between 2013 and 2020 were studied. The authors measured the academic performance, research publications, and research projects of students across years, and evaluated potential factors that contribute to student research productivity and increased interest in future research.
Across the years, there was an increase in the number of student publications, a greater proportion of students with publications, and a greater proportion of projects involving three or more students (P < .01 for all). The academic performance of the course was associated with increased publications (P = .014), whereas overall satisfaction of the course (OR 2.07, 95% CI [1.39, 3.10], P < .001), Skill Composite Score (SCS) (OR 1.70, 95% CI [1.16, 2.50], P = .007), and male gender (OR 1.50, 95% CI [1.06, 2.12], P = .022) were associated with increased future research interests.
The findings suggest that the curriculum-based RTP improved students' research productivity, and that overall program satisfaction and self-assessed performance were associated with increased students' intent to participate in future research.
将科学研究纳入本科医学教育对于未来医疗保健的质量至关重要。然而，在一个机构为大量医学生提供严格的研究培训仍然是主要挑战之一。作者研究了浙江大学医学院（ZUSM）为所有本科生开设基于课程的研究培训计划（RTP）对研究成果和未来研究兴趣的影响。
研究了 2013 年至 2020 年期间完成 RTP 课程的 ZUSM 医学生（n=2213）。作者衡量了学生多年来的学业表现、研究出版物和研究项目，并评估了可能影响学生研究成果和增加未来研究兴趣的因素。
多年来，学生发表的文章数量有所增加，发表文章的学生比例增加，涉及三个或更多学生的项目比例增加（所有 P<0.01）。课程的学业成绩与发表的文章数量增加有关（P=0.014），而课程的总体满意度（OR 2.07，95%CI [1.39，3.10]，P<0.001）、综合技能评分（SCS）（OR 1.70，95%CI [1.16，2.50]，P=0.007）和男性性别（OR 1.50，95%CI [1.06，2.12]，P=0.022）与未来研究兴趣的增加有关。
研究结果表明，基于课程的 RTP 提高了学生的研究成果，并且对整体计划的满意度和自我评估的表现与学生未来参与研究的意愿增加有关。
