N1 - Funding Information: The value of 2 years of research in the residency may be questioned, and some would prefer that basic medical education include an MD, PhD, and predate residency, while others argue for postresidency training. Regardless of the timing, the long-term outcome of performing a research fellowship during general surgery residency is noteworthy. Longo found “that 60 percent of residents who pursued training following completion of general surgery training spent time in the laboratory during residency.” In addition, 35% of surgical trainees who perform a research fellowship become funded investigators and 20% receive National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding. 52 Trainees who received NIH funding after completion of the residency spent on the average 3.7 years in research before and during the residency compared with 2.8 years for those who did not receive NIH funding. 62 Equally interesting is that residents who perform research in a specialty laboratory are likely to pursue fellowship training and often in that field. A study from University of California, at Los Angeles (UCLA) provides insight into the impact of the research year. Eighty-six residents completed general surgery training at UCLA Medical Center. Between 1975 and 1990 they were surveyed to determine the focus of their previous laboratory research and when they selected their eventual surgical specialty. Responses were received from 67 of the 86 graduates (78%). Forty-eight of the 67 respondents (72%) took 1 or more years of surgical research during residency, and postresidency fellowship training was selected by 55 of 67 (82%). Residents who performed at least 2 years of research were more likely to become academicians (53%) than residents who did 1 year or less of research (22%). The authors concluded that general surgery residents performing research in a specialty laboratory are likely to pursue fellowship training relating to that field. Residents who perform 2 or more years of laboratory research publish more articles and often pursue an academic career. 63
