Association of pre-residency publications with research productivity in residency, fellowship, and academic career choice among Canadian ophthalmologists

CONCLUSION: Pre-residency research output is a significant predictor of research productivity during residency and subsequent career choices, suggesting that pre-residency publishing reflects a propensity toward an academic trajectory. Residency publication count moderates this association, underscoring the role of the residency program environment in fostering research productivity. Addressing barriers such as mentorship, funding, and curriculum may be key to incentivizing trainees to pursue academic medicine.PMID:38431270 | DOI:10.1016/j.jcjo.2024.02.004
