It is unknown whether the publication productivity of facial plastic and reconstructive surgery (FPRS) fellowship applicants before fellowship can be a predictor of pursuing academics in the future. The objective of this study was to assess whether the publication productivity of a cohort of FPRS fellowship applicants was associated with their eventual career path of academic versus non-academic practice.
This was a retrospective analysis of a cohort of FPRS fellowship applicants who applied to a single institution from 2012 to 2016. Their submitted publication records at the time of the application process, and their current career positions were queried.
Thirty-four (27%) of the 125 fellowship applicants are currently in academic positions with no difference in genders ( = 0.66). Academic FPRS clinicians had a significantly higher number of total publications (6.3 ± 5.1 vs. 4.4 ± 3.9, = 0.03), first author publications (3.4 ± 3.2 vs. 2.1 ± 2.5, = 0.01), and publications in otolaryngology or plastic/aesthetic surgery journals (4.5 ± 3.9 vs. 3.1 ± 3.3, = 0.03). There was no difference in the number of plastics, aesthetic, or trauma-specific publications ( = 0.44).
The number of publications and publications in otolaryngology or plastic/aesthetic surgery journals, but not necessarily articles with specific plastic/aesthetic/trauma topics, may be a predictor of pursuing academia for FPRS fellowship applicants.
目前尚不清楚面部整形与重建外科（FPRS） fellowship 申请人在参加 fellowship 之前的发表论文产出是否能预测其未来从事学术工作的情况。本研究的目的是评估一组 FPRS fellowship 申请人的发表论文产出是否与他们最终的学术与非学术职业道路相关。
这是一项对 2012 年至 2016 年申请单一机构的 FPRS fellowship 申请人队列的回顾性分析。查询了他们在申请过程中提交的发表记录以及他们目前的职业职位。
125 名 fellowship 申请人中有 34 名（27%）目前处于学术职位，性别上无差异（P = 0.66）。学术型 FPRS 临床医生的总发表论文数量显著更高（6.3 ± 5.1 篇对 4.4 ± 3.9 篇，P = 0.03），第一作者发表论文数量（3.4 ± 3.2 篇对 2.1 ± 2.5 篇，P = 0.01），以及在耳鼻喉科或整形/美容外科期刊上的发表论文数量（4.5 ± 3.9 篇对 3.1 ± 3.3 篇，P = 0.03）。在整形、美容或创伤特定领域的发表论文数量上无差异（P = 0.44）。
发表论文数量以及在耳鼻喉科或整形/美容外科期刊上的发表论文数量，而非特定整形/美容/创伤主题的文章数量，可能是 FPRS fellowship 申请人从事学术工作的一个预测指标。
