Abstract
To The Editor: Recent efforts by the Accreditation Council for Medical Education (ACGME) to expose psychiatry residents to a research experience during their 4 years of training has been problematic for many predominately clinical programs. A debate about how to effectively engage psychiatric residents in research is ongoing throughout academic institutions. In the Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior at Thomas Jefferson University, we developed a required 7-week, 1-day per week research rotation during which PGY-3 residents are asked to write a proposal. From our experience, we found that residents have many questions emanating from their clinical experiences. Our approach is threefold: First, residents develop and refine a clinical question of interest to them and, with our supportive guidance, formulate a hypothesis. Second, they are asked to perform a limited literature search and this material is discussed with a member of the faculty. Third, they complete our Institutional Review Board Forms and a brief proposal to answer their query. The proposal includes sections on background and significance, specific aims, population characteristics, and subject consent procedures, all of which help the residents to focus and express their ideas in a practical format.
