Title | Shaping A Clinician Scholar Program for the Next Generation of Psychiatry Residents |
Background/Purpose | The Clinician Scholar program (CScholP) is a novel approach to enhance residents' professional development in various areas of scholarship. This project aims to deeper understand the perceived needs, barriers, and enablers of psychiatry residents to shape the new CScholP curriculum. |
Methods | We conducted semi-structured Zoom interviews with 17 psychiatry residents and fellows to understand their views on the new CScholP. Thematic analysis was applied to the transcribed qualitative data using NVivo-facilitated and manual, systematic processes to optimize inter-analyst reliability and identify data saturation, respectively. |
Results | Of the 17 respondents, majority (76.5%) were junior residents (PGY1-3). Most residents wished to pursue research and scholarship after residency. Early research training was perceived to be impactful. Key perceived enablers of CScholP recruitment included program flexibility, social network support, and professional development support. Primary perceived barriers included negative self-perception, lack of awareness of the benefits of the CScholP, and lack of self-directed program scheduling. |
Discussion | Medical schools can consider increasing the visibility and value of the new CScholP by providing Open Houses that showcase residents' scholarly experiences; and information booths for research supervisors to share available research opportunities. The new CScholP program may also consider supporting residents' self-selected research and scholarship to increase residents' autonomy and enrich their experiences. |
