Introduction Infectious diseases physicians invest significant time mentoring medical students and internal medicine residents through research projects as well as case reports. Although having an infectious diseases mentor has been shown to be associated with subsequent infectious diseases fellowship application, the impact of specific scholarly activities on future application to infectious diseases fellowship is unknown. Methods All research and case reports published or presented from Brooke Army Medical Center between 2014 and 2022 with an infectious diseases senior author and a medical student or internal medicine resident first author were evaluated. The presentations and publications that resulted from each project as well as whether the trainee applied to infectious diseases were recorded. Results During the study period, 16 faculty mentored 35 medical student and resident research projects and 26 case reports. Research and case reports were primarily performed by residents (88% and 96%, respectively). Compared to case reports, research projects were more likely to be presented at national meetings (77% vs 32%, P = .0009). Of the 55 projects performed by trainees who completed training, research was associated with greater rates of infectious disease fellowship application as compared to case reports (41% vs 4%, P = .0012). Conclusions Internal medicine resident and medical student involvement in research mentored by an infectious disease physician was associated with a greater infectious diseases fellowship application rate as compared to those who were mentored for case reports. Investment in trainee research may be a strategy for recruiting the next generation of infectious diseases physicians.

传染病学术指导对后续传染病奖学金申请的影响


简介 传染病医生投入大量时间通过研究项目和病例报告指导医学生和内科住院医师。尽管拥有传染病导师已被证明与随后的传染病奖学金申请有关，但具体学术活动对未来传染病奖学金申请的影响尚不清楚。方法 对 2014 年至 2022 年间布鲁克陆军医学中心发表或提交的所有研究和病例报告进行了评价，其中有一名传染病高级作者和一名医学生或内科住院医师第一作者。记录每个项目产生的演示文稿和出版物以及受训者是否适用于传染病。结果 在研究期间，16 名教师指导了 35 个医学生和住院医师研究项目和 26 个病例报告。研究和病例报告主要由居民进行 （分别为 88% 和 96%）。与病例报告相比，研究项目更有可能在全国会议上展示 （77% 对 32%，P = .0009）。在完成培训的受训者执行的 55 个项目中，与病例报告相比，研究与更高的传染病奖学金申请率相关 （41% 对 4%，P = .0012）。结论 与接受病例报告指导的学生相比，内科住院医师和医学生参与由传染病医生指导的研究与更高的传染病奖学金申请率相关。投资于实习生研究可能是招募下一代传染病医生的一种策略。
