Sometimes, the time trade-off between conducting research versus simply acting on intuition can be difficult to reconcile. Research is a fundamental component of medical advancement and it is without a doubt quintessential to the profession. I have the utmost respect for medical researchers, and I often do read the biggest research studies that are published in well known medical journals. Having the right motivation for students to pursue research is important and should not be taken for granted.
As medical educators, we must better understand how to make research more readable, digestible, and simply more fun. A new movement in visual demonstration of medical research abstracts, known fondly as VisualAbstract on Twitter, is starting to build excitement and bring color to the medical research world. More efforts such as this are greatly needed.
If we expect students to care about the research they publish, we must care about making the products of that research more relevant and engaging. Twitter: AbraarKaran. Visualization of the process and the end is crucial. Once you are committed, set your goals, break your tasks into processes and visualize your success. In my personal case, my commitment lead me to work for more than 15 hours everyday, managing clinical and research work together.
I still follow the same principles that I have put down in my productivity blog. Willing to learn and work hard — most successful people want to learn new things even after they achieve success. Learning opens up your mind and makes you even more successful. Learn the right approach to research and this will set you up to do really well. Clinical research is never taught to us during our medical training.
You have to look at resources available online to learn the process of clinical research. This is a stepwise process and is very similar to learning steps in surgery or medical diagnostics. You can read my blog to understand the steps involved in learning clinical research and publish.
During my time, a decade ago, there were no such resources, so I learnt by trial and error. Hence, I have created a resource, an online lecture series teaching biostatistics, literature review, study design manuscript writing and a lot more, for young minds to learn the steps in clinical research.
I hope you will make use of this resource to the fullest and start looking forward to publishing during residency. Dedicate 45 min everyday — time management is essential. This is a mantra I have followed till date.
No matter how busy your day gets, try and manage to dedicate only 45 minutes everyday for clinical research. You can use this time to fill data in excel sheets, reading relevant literature and then for manuscript writing.
During residency, I used to often look forward to this 45 minutes everyday because the tasks during this time gave me a lot of pleasure.
I have chronicled journey of publishing in an online lecture, which you can watch here. Strong desire to improve patient care — read and apply what you read in clinic. Many of these questions may be very important research questions that no one has cared to answer to date. You can perform a simple study and find important answers to these burning questions.
The numbers of neurosurgical publications per intern were as follows: for all programs, 4. If your undergrad work in published, both the activity research and the publication abstract, poster, manuscript will be part of your residency application. Some schools accept up to a third of their class with students who have never set foot in a lab.

Residents can publish articles to meet the training requirements of their program and to bolster their fellowship applications, particularly when preparing for academic positions. In this article, we will discuss 5 ways in which publishing articles can help medical trainees by: 1 strengthening applications, 2 satisfying residency program requirements, 3 increasing personal medical knowledge, 4 providing easier access to future research opportunities, and 5 offering a sense of personal achievement.
Performing research and earning publications has become an important priority for medical students, especially students interested in competitive residency positions. While research involvement played a much less important role than other factors such as standardized test scores, it still was regarded as an important component of the application by many programs.
MD seniors who matched into residency was typically greater than for students who did not match 2. The difference was more pronounced for competitive specialties such as neurosurgery, where matched students had an average of The difference was less pronounced for less competitive specialties such as family medicine, where matched students had an average of 3.
Additionally, the NRMP does not distinguish between article publications, presentations, and abstracts in their report. An article publication in a peer-reviewed medical journal often takes significantly more time and effort to complete than a presentation or abstract, so it is likely that students often have a fewer number of article publications in comparison to presentations and abstracts. Abstracts are often citable and can be considered as publications, but they are typically much shorter than a full-length publication.
Regardless, medical school and residency are full-time jobs in and of themselves, so projects that are less time intensive may still prove to be abundantly rewarding. Residents are often required to complete some form of scholarly work during their residency.
For neurosurgery, the rating increased to 4.
