Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Research Training
  • Physician-Scientist Development

Background:

  • The number of physicians applying for National Institutes of Health (NIH) grants has declined.
  • Clinician-scientists are crucial for addressing patient-centered research needs.
  • Early introduction of medical students to research is vital to counter this trend.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the establishment and impact of the Office of Student Research Opportunities (OSRO) at Mount Sinai School of Medicine.
  • To assess the effectiveness of OSRO in stimulating medical student engagement in research.
  • To evaluate the influence of research opportunities on student publications and participation.

Main Methods:

  • Establishment of the Office of Student Research Opportunities (OSRO) in 1995.

  • Implementation of programs including student advising, faculty mentorship identification, research programs, and funding.
  • Tracking student participation in research day and publication numbers from graduating classes.

    • Main Results:

    • Student participation in research day increased from 18 (1997) to 74 (2000).
    • Publications by graduating classes rose from 34 (1997) to 58 (1999).
    • Both basic and clinical research projects were presented by student participants.

    Conclusions:

    • Medical students can be motivated to conduct research with administrative and faculty support.
    • The OSRO model shows success in increasing student research engagement and output.
    • These findings suggest a potential strategy to reverse the decline in physician-scientists.
