We have required residents in pediatrics at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation to give research presentations since 1989; this article reviews our experience with this program. Additionally, we sought to determine how many other accredited pediatric programs in the United States also require this.
Retrospective review of the Cleveland Clinic program; descriptive statistics of other United States residency programs, obtained by questionnaire.
Pediatric residents at the Cleveland Clinic have given 108 research presentations since 1989, and have developed 33 (30.5%) of them into manuscripts or abstracts. We mailed questionnaires to 215 pediatric residency program directors and received responses from 177 (82%). Of these, 48 (27%) indicated their programs had a research requirement; residents could present their findings in departmental meetings or submit an abstract or manuscript to a professional society or journal. Respondents cited several barriers to research: residents are too busy, there are too few faculty members to mentor them, financial resources are limited, and there is no residency review committee requirement.
Even though only approximately one fourth of the pediatric residency programs in the United States require research, we feel it is worthwhile experience. Despite barriers, residents can and do perform research and publish their findings.
自1989年起，我们要求克利夫兰诊所基金会儿科住院医师进行研究报告；本文回顾了我们在该项目中的经验。此外，我们试图确定美国其他获得认证的儿科项目中有多少也有此要求。
对克利夫兰诊所项目进行回顾性分析；通过问卷调查获取美国其他住院医师项目的描述性统计数据。
自1989年以来，克利夫兰诊所的儿科住院医师进行了108次研究报告，其中33项（30.5%）形成了手稿或摘要。我们向215名儿科住院医师项目主任邮寄了问卷，收到了177份回复（82%）。其中，48名（27%）表示他们的项目有研究要求；住院医师可以在科室会议上展示他们的研究结果，或向专业协会或期刊提交摘要或手稿。受访者列举了研究的几个障碍：住院医师太忙，指导他们的教员太少，资金有限，而且住院医师评审委员会没有相关要求。
尽管美国只有约四分之一的儿科住院医师项目要求进行研究，但我们认为这是一次有价值的经历。尽管存在障碍，住院医师能够且确实进行了研究并发表了他们的研究结果。
